Lost Your California Vehicle Title?

Misplacing your pink slip is a major hurdle for selling or gifting a vehicle. Our Torrance office specializes in expedited duplicate title processing, saving you the 4-6 week wait of mailing forms to Sacramento.

Lost Your Vehicle Registration?

Driving without your registration card can lead to costly citations. We produce official CA duplicate registration cards on-site for immediate use.

  • Card was lost or stolen
  • Card was damaged or illegible
  • Registration was never received in the mail

Lost or Stolen License Plates?

If your plates are gone, you need a new number and a new set of plates immediately. We provide the replacement plates and the updated registration stickers right in our Torrance office.

Lost Your Registration Sticker?

Missing your year tag? We provide authorized replacement stickers instantly, ensuring your vehicle stays compliant and avoids unnecessary law enforcement attention.

What Should I Bring?

To process your replacement as quickly as possible, generally you may need to bring:

  • Your valid CA Driver License or ID Card
  • The vehicle's License Plate Number or VIN
  • Completion of simple DMV replacement forms (available in our office)

Don’t worry if you’re missing some info; our team can help look up your records to get you exactly what you need.

Replacement Title — REG 227

The Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title (REG 227) is used when the original title is missing. We help you navigate this form for:

  • Selling a vehicle with a lost title
  • Removing a lienholder once the loan is paid
  • Obtaining a clean paper title for your records

Replacement Plates, Stickers & Documents — REG 156

For everything NOT including the title, the REG 156 form is used. SB Auto Registration manages these requests for:

  • Replacement License Plates
  • Replacement Month/Year Stickers
  • Duplicate Registration Cards

Selling a Car but Lost the Title?

You can still sell your car in California even if the title is lost. We process 'Duplicate Title with Transfer' transactions, allowing you to sign off on the replacement application and transfer ownership to the buyer in one easy step.

Yes! As an authorized provider, we can print your replacement registration stickers (tags) in our Torrance office immediately.

What if I lost my plates and my registration?

We can handle both in one transaction! You will receive new license plates, a new registration card, and current stickers.

Yes, provided they have a signed authorization or Power of Attorney from the registered owner.
