When getting a vehicle title in Washington, there are several pieces of information and forms that are required by the DOL, including:
Washington imposes a 15-calendar-day timeframe to file titles. Transfers outside this window will be subject to penalties.
Additionally, there are several fees that are part of the vehicle title recovery request:
Upon paying off a vehicle loan, you need to make sure this is reported to the DOL. This is important because you need to get a new title reflecting that the prior lien on it has been removed. Most lenders automatically submit the details to the DOL through the electronic system (ELT). The DOL will mail you the new, clear title directly. If your lender is not using the ELT, then they will sign the back of your original title and mail that to you, or they will send a separate lien release document on their official letterhead. You can take either document to the DOL to request a clear title. Now you are officially the sole owner of your vehicle.
