Vehicle Lien Release

How We Get A Vehicle Lien Release

If your vehicle is still showing a lien on it, you will need to get a lien release from the finance company or bank showing it has been paid. Once we determine which company is showing a lien on your vehicle, we contact them for the proper lien release documents you need.

Vehicle Lien Release Process

Step 1 - Identify Lender

We look up the name of the lienholder or lender listed on the official vehicle title record.

Step 2 - Locate current entity

If the lien holder has moved, merged, or closed, we locate the current registered agent authorized to release the lien.

Step 3 - Send request for signature

We submit the official request for lien release letter, or non-interest letter to the lienholder agent.

Step 4 - Clear the title

We take the signed lien release to the DMV to remove the lien from the title record.

Additional Information

We also include a customer service contact if the lien holder would like to ask questions about the process. We will provide your direct contact info to them in case they would like to send you the title forms directly. We include a pre-addressed and postage paid return envelope to send back any forms or title documents, to make it convenient.

While we are not allowed by law to release the private information about the prior owner or lien holder to any third parties, and they are not required to take any any action with the title, we have found that this method has the best response rate. Most financial institutions are not able to accept verbal requests by phone for lien information. By sending a request in the mail, it allows the lien holder to get the file to the correct department for processing.

We will send you updates when the letter is sent, and when it is received by the lien holder. We also update you if they contact us with any questions. They may also contact you directly, as well.
