In moments where a vehicle's title is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the owner faces a crucial and often stressful process to rectify the situation to avoid any potential legal or transactional issues regarding their vehicle. The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles has streamlined this process through the implementation of the TI-004A Form, known as the Lost/Stolen or Destroyed Certificate of Title Report. Established in April 2006, this form is a necessary step for vehicle owners to officially report their title’s status and request a title correction. The process demands that the registered owner or their authorized agent fill out and submit this form alongside a corrected Form 400 and any applicable fees to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. By detailing critical information such as the vehicle identification number, the title number, owner's name, and contact details, the form serves as a declaration of the title's lost, stolen, or destroyed status. Additionally, it includes an assurance from the owner that, if the original title is recovered, it will be returned to the DMV, and they acknowledge the prohibition against using the lost, stolen, or destroyed title for any financial or ownership transactions. This procedure encapsulates a formal commitment to maintaining the integrity of vehicle ownership records and ensuring that all relevant parties are appropriately informed and aligned in the resolution process.
