Step 1:
Gather what you need.
Tip: You’ll need the current odometer reading.
If you do not have the Connecticut title, you can submit form H-6B application for a duplicate title.
Tip: If you’re using Form H-6B in place of the current Connecticut title, and there is currently a lien on the vehicle, you’ll need a lien release letter. Additionally, there is a $25 fee. Your total fees will be $70.
Step 2: Mail all documents
The above documentation should be mailed to:
Department of Motor Vehicles
Specialized Registry Services, Room 305
60 State Street
Wethersfield, CT 06161
Note: A new title will be issued and sent directly to the lienholder listed.
You may have received a lien release letter stating that the loan has been satisfied. It is not necessary for you to obtain a new certificate of title removing your previous lienholder. You may keep the stamped paid certificate of title from your lienholder and use this title for future sale or transfer of the vehicle.
Please note: Connecticut does not participate in any electronic title or electronic lien holder programs.
A title search will verify who the current titled owner of record of a motor vehicle is in the State of Connecticut. If you want more information, such as odometer readings or a complete ownership history on record, then note it in Section 3 (Miscellaneous Request) of a Title Copy Records Request (form J-23T).
