In fact, at most title offices the owner can go in and get a title printed right then and there, I believe there is an extra charge of like $7, but if he wants to sell the car, that's not much. If they refuse to go get a duplicate title, don't buy the car.
EXACTLY. I had to get a replacement title for a car years ago. Took my information to the pink administration building in Downtown tampa and they were able to print one for me on the spot. Its the one with the sobik's in the bottom.
