Duplicate / replacement titles

Minnesota duplicate title overview

Minnesota duplicate titles are issued through Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), often using Form PS2067 – Application for Duplicate Title or its current version.

Have the titled owner complete PS2067 or submit the request online where available.
Owners can apply at deputy registrar offices, DVS exam stations, or by mail following state instructions.
Be sure any existing lienholder remains on the title unless a proper lien release is provided.

Minnesota temporary permits

Minnesota offers several kinds of temporary permits that dealers manage through DVS e‑Services for Business.

21‑day temporary permits – used to give buyers short‑term registration immediately after purchase.
60‑day permits – can be issued to Minnesota residents in certain situations, such as when a vehicle is purchased from a dealer or when changing plate types.
Dealers must issue permits on approved durable paper and log each permit’s number, VIN, buyer, and expiration date.
