Oregon Lien Release

The lien release process involves the lienholder—usually the former lender on a car loan—removing their interest on the vehicle once it has been paid for in full. You will need a clean, clear title to prove your sole ownership once your loan has been paid. Generally this process is handled with the lender sending you the signed original title in the mail, though some lenders may use an electronic system to notify the DMV directly. If they use the electronic system, you will receive a lien release document that you can take to the DMV along with your existing title to request a new, clear title.
