Lien Release Documents
What to do when you still owe money on your vehicle
Steps to Get Your Lien Release
1
Contact your lender (bank, credit union, or finance company) to get your exact payoff amount. This amount changes daily due to interest.
2
Request the lien release paperwork. Most lenders can email or fax this after receiving payment.
3
Pay off the loan completely. The lender will then remove their lien from the title.
4
Receive your clear title from the DMV. This can take 2-4 weeks depending on your state.
Note: In many cases, we can coordinate with your lender to handle the payoff as part of your vehicle sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about vehicle sale documents

What if I still owe money on my car?
You’ll need a lien release from your lender. We can help coordinate payoff and handle the paperwork in many cases.
