There are several reasons why you may be in need of a car title. The title establishes legal ownership of the vehicle in question, and it signifies there is no lien against it (such as a car loan). Likewise, if you are selling your vehicle, you will need to have a title to accompany the sale. And if you move out of state, you will need to transfer the title to your new state. You may find you are in need of a deceased owner car title transfer. Whatever the reason, and whatever the type of title transfer you need, we can help make the process a seamless one.
If you want to go through the process of title recovery on your own, follow the steps outlined below.
You will need the below information and completed paperwork to begin the process:
You will need to apply for the title at your county treasurer’s office within 60 days of purchase to avoid any penalties. Additionally, you will need to pay several fees:
Your property taxes must also be current as part of the vehicle title request process. Apply for your car title and registration at your local County Treasurer’s Motor Vehicle office (based on where you keep the vehicle).
The vehicle lien release happens once your car loan has been paid off. The lender will provide a notarized lien release, which is signed by an authorized representative, and includes pertinent vehicle information. Lenders are required to do this within three business days of the loan payoff. Alternatively, the lender can opt to sign the physical title and send that to you.
This documentation needs to be submitted to your County Treasurer’s office. Once processed, you will receive a new, clear title reflecting that you are the sole owner.
