     168A.09 Duplicate certificate. 

    Subdivision 1.    Application; form of duplicate.  In 
 the event a certificate of title is lost, stolen, mutilated, or 
 destroyed or becomes illegible, the owner or legal 
 representative of the owner named in the certificate may make 
 application to the department for a duplicate on a form 
 prescribed by the department.  The department shall issue a 
 duplicate certificate of title if satisfied that the applicant 
 is entitled thereto.  The duplicate certificate of title shall 
 be plainly marked as a duplicate and mailed to the owner.  The 
 department shall indicate in its records that a duplicate has 
 been issued.  As a condition to issuing a duplicate certificate 
 of title, the department may require a bond from the applicant 
 in the manner and form prescribed in section 168A.07, 
 subdivision 1, clause (2).  The duplicate certificate of title 
 shall contain the legend:  "This duplicate certificate of title 
 may be subject to the rights of a person under the original 
 certificate."  

    Subd. 2. Repealed by amendment, 1989 c 148 s 6 

    Subd. 3.    Recovery of original certificate.  A person 
 recovering an original certificate of title for which a 
 duplicate has been issued shall promptly surrender the original 
 certificate to the department.
