In this Section

Form 82101 is used when the Certificate of Title is:

 

            Lost

            Damaged/Destroyed

            Never received

 

Titles that have never been received are called “Lost in Transit”.  There is no fee to replace these if they are applied for within 180 days of the last issuance.  For a title to be considered Lost in Transit, it must have been mailed from the DMV in Tallahassee.  If it is mailed from your dealership to your customer, it is not considered Lost in Transit and full fees apply.
