Car Titles | Lien Release | Nevada

If you are planning to sell, donate, or transfer your vehicle, you need your car title to prove your ownership. Likewise, if you had a car loan that you have recently paid off, you will need to get an updated version of that title to show there is no longer a lien on it. Virtually any type of transaction with that vehicle—from transferring the title to a new owner or requesting a duplicate or replacement car title—will require proof of ownership. CarTitles.com can assist you with this process, saving you time and energy. If you do want to complete the title recovery process on your own, we have outlined key steps below. Otherwise, reach out to us at the link below.

Nevada Lien Release

A car title lien release is a document that signifies there is no longer a lien on your vehicle. Most often, lien releases are requested after a car loan is paid in full, so the lender’s information can be removed and you can get a new title that is free and clear. Your lender will often start this process automatically once your loan is paid, via the Electronic Lien & Title (ELT) system. Alternatively, they may send you a signed and notarized Nevada DMV Form VP-86. If this is the case, you’ll submit that with your application for a duplicate car title. The DMV will process this information and send you a new clear title.
