Filing & Removing Liens

Secure and verifiable identification is required on all new titles, duplicate titles, new registrations, new temporary registration permits, and new placards. The identification must be provided by the owner of record or a power of attorney presented by the agent. The agent must have secure and verifiable identification to complete the transaction. Commercially owned or lien holder transactions require a letter of authorization.

Filing a Lien

To file a lien on a motor vehicle, you must provide our office with a copy of a chattel mortgage or security agreement, the properly signed and notarized title, sales tax, if applicable, and filing fees. The chattel mortgage or security agreement must show the year, make, and serial number of the vehicle, the total of payments, and assignment of lien if applicable. Upon receipt of the above, we will record your lien and the new title will be mailed to the lien holder in approximately eight weeks.

For further information regarding the fees required, visit the Vehicle Licensing Taxes and Fees page.

Removing a Lien

To remove a lien on a motor vehicle, the owner (or agent with proper identification and power of attorney) must present the title to our office. The lien release section must be properly signed and dated by the financial institution or lien holder. Upon receipt of the proper documents, an application for title will be completed and a clear title will be issued.
