my friend bought a car, the car was titled from out of state, in FL. The owner signed the title over to her. Now she wants to register the car but lost the title, she has everything else: the bill of sale, the agreement, a copy of seller's driver lisence, and a witness.

She wants to apply for the duplicate title, but doesn't know how as she's located in GA.

Anyone with experience and law knowledge can help her out? I have no idea as how to approach this. Can she just submit a request to FL DMV, or should it be GA DMV? Or does she need the seller to request it for her because when she checked, the title is still "officially titled to the seller."

This is the link to the title's applications as one is simply for a title, another application is for "Duplicate or Lost in Transit/Reassignment Title."

Thanks

btw, she tried to contact the seller but could not since the seller moved.
