When you finance a vehicle, the lender (lienholder) is listed on your title as a secured party. Once you pay off the loan, the lienholder must release their interest in the vehicle. This is called a lien release, and it's required before you can sell or transfer the vehicle free and clear.
Sign the Title
The lienholder signs the "Lien Release" section on the back of the Nevada title.
Separate Release Form
The lienholder provides a separate notarized lien release document if they don't have the physical title.
Electronic Release
Some lenders submit electronic lien releases directly to the Nevada DMV.
Letter of Release
A signed letter on lender letterhead confirming the lien is satisfied, along with the title.
Pay Off Your Loan
Make your final payment and request a payoff confirmation from your lender.
Obtain Lien Release
Contact your lender to obtain a signed lien release or have them sign the title.
Submit to DMV
Submit the title with lien release (or separate release document) to the Nevada DMV.
Receive Clear Title
The DMV will issue a new title in your name only, without the lienholder listed.
Speedy DMV Services can help you process your lien release and obtain a clear title.
