The lender will also notify the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that the loan has been paid in full. If you don't receive the lien release, submit a request to your lender for proof that the loan has been satisfied. This request can be made through the DMV or directly to the lender.
Depending on state laws, paper titles are generally mailed and electronic titles and/or liens are released to the motor vehicle agency approximately 10 business days after the payoff is received. Allow 15-30 days for receipt of your title based on mail time and/or motor vehicle agency process.
