From a simple Google search: I say call NJDMV for the accurate procedure. Won't be easy that's for sure....


From a simple Google search:


If you have no proof of ownership of the car and it was not previously registered – Applying for a duplicate title of a car that has no proof of ownership can only be done through the mail. You’ll first need to download a packet titled Duplicate Title Requirements for No Proof of Ownership, complete the forms included in the packet, and mail it to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission offices in Trenton, along with a check or money order for $60.
If you have no proof of ownership and the car was previously registered – If you have no proof of ownership for a vehicle that was previously registered, you can request a duplicate title of the vehicle by first submitting a Vehicle Registration Application Request. After the registration search information has been received from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, you will have to request an application for a duplicate Certificate of Ownership and send it to the Motor Vehicle Commission, along with $60 and two color photographs of both the front and back of the vehicle that you are requesting a duplicate title for.
