Duplicate certificates of title
Sec. 20. (a) If a certificate of title is lost or mutilated or becomes
illegible, the owner of the watercraft shall apply to the bureau for a
duplicate certificate of title upon a form prescribed by the bureau and
accompanied by the fee prescribed by IC 9-29-15-1. The person
making the application shall certify the application. Upon receipt of
the application, the bureau shall issue a duplicate certificate of title
to the person entitled to receive the certificate of title under this
chapter. Upon the issuance of a duplicate certificate of title, the
previously issued certificate of title becomes void.
(b) Each duplicate certificate of title must contain the legend
"This is a duplicate certificate.". The duplicate certificate of title
shall be delivered to the person entitled to possession.
(c) If an original certificate of title is recovered by the owner, the
owner shall immediately surrender the original certificate of title to
the bureau for cancellation.
