Affidavit of Loss/Release of Interest
The Affidavit of Loss/Release of Interest form may be used to:
- Replace a lost title.
- Replace your license plates.
- Release interest in a vehicle or vessel you are selling.
- Replace your vehicle or vessel registration.
- Replace vehicle tabs.
- Replace a vessel decal.
To replace a title, license plates, registration, tabs, or vessel decal
Use this form to replace your Washington Certificate of Ownership (title), license plates, registration, tabs, or vessel decal if it has been lost, stolen, or destroyed. Submit the completed form and fees to your local vehicle licensing office.
To release interest in a vehicle or vessel you are selling
You don’t need a replacement title to release interest in a vehicle or vessel you are selling, trading, or giving away to a Washington resident. You may use the Affidavit of Loss/Release of Interest form instead.
Submit the completed form to a Washington vehicle licensing office with an application for a Certificate of Ownership. All legal and registered owners shown on the title must sign the Release of Interest to transfer the title to the new owner. If the form is signed in the presence of a vehicle licensing agent, the agent can certify the signatures and you don’t need to have the form notarized.
