If you have lost your original Connecticut Certificate of Title and are selling the vehicle to someone who will be registering it in Connecticut, you can follow the procedures listed below to sell the vehicle without requesting a duplicate title.

• Obtain an Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title and Ownership Transfer in Absence of Title (form H-6B).  This is a multi purpose form and can be used to assign ownership to the buyer in lieu of waiting for the actual duplicate title.  The application must be notarized .
  
• If there is a lien listed on the original Connecticut Certificate of Title, a lien release must be provided to the purchaser and must accompany the Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title and Ownership Transfer in Absence of Title (form H-6B).  The lien release must be on letterhead paper from the lien holder.
  

Note:  If the vehicle is being sold to someone in another state, you must request a duplicate title.  Once you have received the duplicate title, complete the transfer section on the reverse side of the title and provide to the buyer of the vehicle.
