Make sure you have received the “Title & Lien Instructions” document which provides instructions to help you with the process. If you are still unsure of what is needed, contact or visit your local DMV/DOL office so they can confirm what documents are needed and that yours are completed correctly.

Quick tip if purchasing from a private party

To complete the title work, you will need the seller’s state-specific DMV/DOL Limited Power of Attorney, or the seller will need to be present to sign off on the title.

*If the lien holder is not shown on the registration, please email a title summary.

Registered Owners

Verify the names of all borrowers and the collateral description on the promissory note/loan agreement and security agreement match the title documents.

Reminders

As a general reminder, while any part of the loan is unpaid, you promise: (1) To help the credit union enforce and protect the security interest you have given the credit union and to pay all costs and any attorney fees the credit union incurs to do so; and (2) To be responsible for protecting and securing the credit union’s lien interests in a timely manner as defined by law, including, but not limited to, titling and registration of the collateral; and (3) To hold the credit union harmless from and against all claims arising before the credit union’s interests are perfected.
