How long does it take to get your car title from the bank? Generally, it takes two to six weeks, but it will depend on your state's processes.
Send an Application for a Duplicate Certificate of Title (PDF) (MV-902) and the original proof that indicates that the lien is satisfied to the address above, or bring them to a DMV office. The DMV processes a duplicate title certificate that does not list the lien and mails the certificate to you.
When all the liabilities shown on the Notice of Federal Tax Lien are satisfied, the IRS will issue a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien for filing in the same location where the notice of lien was filed. If the IRS has not released the lien within 30 days, you can ask for a certificate of release.
If you don't have a title in hand you'll have to process the lien release before you can sell 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.
