FAQ
In order to release the lien and remove the bank's name from the certificate of title, you must have an original lien release document from the bank, or have the bank sign the original certificate of title.
If the title has a lien holder listed on it, the original signed lien release card or a notarized lien release from the lending institution listed on the title is required. If the lien release has been lost or not received, contact the lien holder to get a duplicate. Any alteration or erasure to the title will void it.
Wyoming, Texas, and Mississippi are the only states that require a person signing a lien waiver to have it notarized. The notarization requirement does not apply in Washington and Oregon, the two states we primarily serve at Northwest Lien.
If you don't have a title in hand you'll have to process the lien release before you can sell it.
Selling a car with a lien on it is not illegal in Canada, but the seller is legally required to disclose the existence of the lien to the buyer. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences for the seller and financial hardship for the buyer.
Each province has different rules about the time limit of a lien. In Alberta, for example, your lien is valid for 180 days from the date the lien was placed. In Ontario, liens are only valid for 90 days from the date of last on site working.
Without a vehicle title, you have no way to prove you've obtained the vehicle legally and have a right to sell it. Whenever a vehicle is sold, each buyer must fill out and sign the title properly to prove ownership. Buying or selling a vehicle without proof of ownership is illegal in most places.
You can sell it with the original notarized lien release stapled to the title. You'll have to talk to your buyer to see if they're good with that, they may want to retitle with the lien cleared first.
