A car title lien release is needed after you pay off a car loan, so you can get a new, clear title reflecting that you are now the only owner. Typically, your lender will trigger this process automatically once you make your final car payment. Most lenders use the Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) system. The details of your payoff are sent to the DMV, and the DMV will mail you a new paper title. In cases where your lender has gone out of business, you will need to provide proof of payment to the DMV so they can remove the lender from your title.
