There are several reasons why you may need to obtain a copy of your car title, ranging from a simple replacement copy for a lost car title, to a more complicated transfer of a deceased owner car title. CarTitles.com has been helping customers with their vehicle title recovery requests since 2001. Our highly-trained team is ready to help you save time and frustration. Of course, if you would like to take this on yourself, we have provided guidance below. But if you want to work with our team, click the link below.
To begin, you will need to gather and complete the following details and paperwork:
If your vehicle is more than 15 years old and previously exempt from needing a title, please note that it now needs a title upon transfer of ownership.
You will also need to pay a combination of fees as part of your vehicle title recovery request (not all will apply to every situation), including:
Lien releases signify that the prior lienholder (usually your lender) no longer has a claim to that vehicle. Once you pay off a car loan, your lender will notify the Vermont DMV within 10 business days. The DMV will then mail you a paper lien-free title. You can contact your lender to confirm that they have started the process. In cases where your lender is not responsive, you may need to file an Affidavit of Non-Titled Vehicle (VT-025) instead. But you should try requesting (in writing) that your lender notify the DMV through the regular process first. You will need the lien release or affidavit to make any changes with the vehicle title, such as when you sell it or transfer ownership to someone else.
