Having a car title confirms your legal ownership, and it’s a document that you will need to register, sell, or transfer that vehicle. In Tennessee, all vehicles must be properly titled. This includes vehicles that are currently being financed, as well as those that are owned outright. New residents also need to re-title their cars within 30 days of moving. If you don’t already have a current car title, you will need to go through the process to obtain one. We have outlined these steps below if you want to do this on your own, but as experts in this field, CarTitles.com can help. Click the link below to get started with our team today.

There are also several fees associated with the title recovery process:
If you had a loan on your vehicle, but you have recently paid it off, you will need a lien release from your lender. This signifies that the lender no longer has a legal claim (lien) on that vehicle. Once you pay off the loan, your lender has to file this information with the state within 72 hours. Lenders will also mail you the original title with the signature on the back confirming payoff, or they will send a notarized lien release letter on their letterhead. If you do not receive either of these, you will need to contact the lender in writing to request the lien release. You will need that lien release (or signed original title) as part of the documentation to get a new, clear title that is only in your name.
