Lost Your Car's Title? Don't Fret, You Title-Less Sooner You!
Let's face it, Oklahoma. We've all been there. You're elbow-deep under the couch searching for that missing remote, the "check engine" light decides it's disco time on your dashboard, and now you can't find the title to your trusty steed. Hold on to your Stetsons, partners, because getting a new car title in Oklahoma is easier than wrestling a greased pig at the county fair (although, that does sound like fun).

Sheddin' Some Light on Titles
First things first, are you sure you need a whole new title, or is it just hiding like a mischievous raccoon? If your title is just playing a game of hide-and-seek, a duplicate title might be all you need. This is much simpler than getting a whole new one.
But if your title met with an unfortunate demise (shredder mishap, anyone?), then this guide is your buckaroo to a brand new title.
Round Up These Here Documents, Partner
Getting a new title is like wrangling cattle – you gotta have the right tools. Here's what you'll need to lasso:
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
- Completed Form 701-7: This is basically your map to title-town. You can find this little critter online at
Oklahoma.gov - Proof You're the Rightful Owner: Show them the dang receipt! This could be your assigned Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (new car) or an out-of-state title (used car).
- Driver's License or FEIN: Basically, a way to prove you're a real person and not a car-stealin' robot.
- Lien Information (if applicable): If you still owe money on your car, this is like showing the bank you're playing it straight.
- Insurance Verification: Gotta make sure your chariot is covered, just in case you hit a tumbleweed the wrong way.
Don't forget your wrangling fee! The whole rodeo will cost you a cool $11 (plus a little somethin' somethin' for mailin' if you choose that option).
Head on Down to the Title Corral
Now that you've got your documents in a neat little stack, mosey on down to your nearest Service Oklahoma location or a Licensed Operator. Think of them as the friendly folks who will brand your car with a shiny new title.
Tip: While mail-in is an option, it might be faster to head to one of these locations in person. You know how Oklahoma mail can be slower than a molasses spill in January.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
Howdy, New Title!
Once you've wrangled all the requirements, the nice folks at Service Oklahoma will get you fixed up with a spankin' new title. Now you can rest easy knowing your car is officially yours (on paper, at least).
