For more specifics on the required forms, check with your local county’s website.
You will also need to pay several fees, which may include:
Once the vehicle has been paid in full, you will need to secure a lien release to certify that you are the sole owner. To do so, your lender will either send the paper title to you, or they will notify the state electronically. If the lender uses the electronic option, the state will then mail a paper title to you. The process usually takes around 10 days; if you do not receive it, you will need to contact the lender by sending a lien release form. If the lender cannot locate the title, then you will need to request a Letter of Non-Interest to signify that they acknowledge the loan has been repaid in full.
