Car Titles | Lien Release | Alaska

There are many reasons why Alaskan residents may need a copy of their car title. Beyond just obtaining a copy to prove the lien has been paid off, other scenarios include needing a replacement copy of a lost car title, a damaged car title, title recovery, or even a deceased owner car title. The Alaska Department of Motor Vehicles website has the forms you will need for any circumstance.

No matter the circumstance, we provide solutions for all of your car title needs. Our expert team will gather and send all of the necessary documents so you can just sign and return them. From straightforward replacement car titles or duplicate car titles, to more complicated situations with deceased owner car titles, we can help.

Alaska Requirements for Car Titles

You will need several critical pieces of information when you are seeking a vehicle title:

  • Application form: Alaska Vehicle Transaction Application Form V1
  • The vehicle’s current title or MCO (manufacturer’s certificate of origin), signed by all parties
  • Odometer Disclosure (if less than 20 years old)
  • Valid government-issued ID for the buyer
  • Title and registration fees
  • Lien Release: If a lienholder is listed and the loan is paid off.
  • Bill of Sale (if purchasing from a private seller)

Additionally, if the vehicle is missing the title, or if it was purchased through a government auction, then you will also need the Bill of Sale or purchase order, along with Form 811 and—if applicable—a court order.

Fees associated with title requests can vary, but in general, be aware of the following:

  • Title transfer/lien recording fee ($30)
  • New vehicle title fee ($100, but may have been included in the registration)
  • Convenience fees can vary, but are generally only assessed by private DMV locations

Alaska Lien Release

Once you pay off your car loan, you will need a notarized lien release letter or a signed title from the lender. This needs to be submitted with the Alaska Application for Title & Registration (Form V1), along with applicable fees. When you have all necessary documents, you will send these to the Alaska DMV. Once processed, you will receive a clear title.
