California DMV Form REG 227, Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title, is the two-page form used to replace a lost, stolen, illegible, or mutilated California Certificate of Title — and, in eligible cases where there is no lienholder or the lien is being released, to transfer ownership to a new buyer at the same time. Sections 1–3 request a duplicate title for the current owner of record; Sections 4–7 handle a paperless/missing-title transfer and lienholder release (which requires notarization in Section 5).
