Need help getting NJ DMV duplicate title from California - Letter of Certification confusion

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I moved from New Jersey to California and I can't find my vehicle title. I need to get a duplicate title from the NJ DMV, but I'm not sure how to go about it from out of state. I've got most of the paperwork ready (registration, license, application, etc.), but I'm stuck on getting a Letter of Certification. Has anyone gone through this process before? Any tips on expediting the whole thing? I'm kinda lost here and could use some advice.

Question for those who've done this: How long did the whole process take from start to finish? I might be in a similar situation soon and need to plan accordingly.

In my experience, it took about 4-6 weeks from mailing everything in to receiving the new title. But this was pre-covid, so it might be different now.

Just wanted to jump in and share my recent experience! I actually went through this exact same process about 6 months ago when I moved from NJ to Arizona. The info from @Marcelle Drum is spot on - that's exactly what I had to do. One thing I'd add is to make copies of EVERYTHING before you send it in. The NJ DMV lost my first application and I had to start over, but having copies saved me a ton of time. Also, definitely call them first thing in the morning like @Collins Angel suggested - I got through on my third try around 8:05 AM. The whole process ended up taking about 5 weeks for me, but that included the time for my botched first attempt. Good luck with everything!

Need help getting duplicate title from NJDMV while living in California - any advice?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I moved from New Jersey to California and I need to get a duplicate title for my car. The original is lost and I have no way to get it. I'm trying to contact the NJDMV Special Titles Section but I'm not sure about the application process or how to expedite the delivery. Has anyone gone through this before? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

OP, whatever you do, DONT LOSE THE PAPERWORK they send you. Make copies of EVERYTHING. The DMV loves to 'misplace' stuff and make you start over. Ask me how I know... 🙃

Just went through this exact situation last month when I moved to Texas! Here's what worked for me: I sent everything via certified mail with return receipt requested - cost a bit extra but gave me peace of mind knowing they received it. Also, make sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope for faster return shipping. One thing that helped speed things up was including a brief cover letter explaining my situation (moved out of state, need duplicate for registration transfer). The whole process took about 5 weeks total. Hang in there, it's frustrating but you'll get through it!
