Your car title is your proof of ownership. Whether you are planning to sell that vehicle, or you need to register your car in a new state, your car title is an important document. The process to obtain that car title, however, can be complicated. From figuring out which forms you need to where you go to process the request, you have your work cut out for you. This process can be done on your own, and we have given some guidance below on how to do that. But if you decide it’s more than what you want to take on, CarTitles.com is ready to assist.

There are also several associated fees that may apply:
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.

Once you move to Oregon, you have 30 days to register your car title.

To start, you will need the death certificate, a completed Application for Title and Registration (Form 735-226), and the vehicle’s original title. From this point, the process for transferring a car title from a deceased owner will depend on whether the estate is in probate. If so, the executor needs to sign the title and you will need Letters Testamentary from the courts. If there is no probate, the vehicle’s heir can transfer ownership with an Inheritance Affidavit. Sometimes, deceased owner title transfers can be confusing, so reach out to our team if you need assistance.

The lien release process involves the lienholder (the lender on a financed vehicle) removing their interest on the vehicle once it has been fully paid for. Generally, your lender will send 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 and the Application for Title and Registration (Form 735-226) to request a new, clear title. If you are not able to reach your lender to get this process started, contact us. Our team can help you obtain the lien release.
