Electronic Lien Titles

 

What is the difference between an E-title and an Electronic Lien Title?

 

An E-Title is a title record that is being held in an Electronic status.

 

An Electronic Lien Title (ELT) is a title record that is being held in an Electronic status with a lien on the vehicle. The only difference between an E-Title and an Electronic Lien Title (ELT) is that there is a lien on the ELT.  In both cases, a paper title has NOT been printed.

 

For example, Jane Doe purchases a vehicle from a dealer.  When the title application is processed, an electronic lien holder is chosen.  The title is then held as an Electronic Lien Title.  Jane then pays the vehicle off and the electronic lien holder releases the lien.  The title status is then converted to an E-Title and remains so until Jane Doe requests a paper title to be issued in her name.

 

Below are three scenarios that may affect lien holders: 

  1. There is no lien currently on the vehicle and the title is being held in the customers name electronically. This is called an E-Title.

My customer is borrowing money from me.  The title is an Electronic Title (E-Title) and there are no liens on the vehicle.  How do I add my lien now since the customer does not have the title? 

 

You must do the following: 

  1. Verify that the title status is an E-Title. You may verify this information by:

  1. Print the information found.

  2. Once you see that the title is an E-Title, have your customer sign the form HSMV 82139 Notice Of Lien. 

  3. Submit the form HSMV 82139, the printout of the title status and a check for $74.75 to the tax collector's office. The lien will be added and show you as the lien holder.

In this scenario, you will not submit a paper title. 

 

If you are an Electronic Lien Holder participant, the new title will be held electronically and will be considered an Electronic Lien Holder Title.  Otherwise, the title will be mailed to you as the lien holder.

 

  1. There is a lien with another financial institution and the title is being held electronically as an Electronic Lien Holder Title; and you are paying off the lien for your customer.  

You must do the following:

  1. Verify that the title status is an Electronic Lien Holder Title. You may verify this information in many ways as noted above in #1.

  2. Print the information found. 

  3. Once you see that the title is an Electronic Lien Holder Title, have your customer sign the form HSMV 82139 Notice Of Lien.

  4. Pay the other financial institution and request the lien satisfaction notice be sent to your company.  Within 24 to 48 hours after DMV receives the lien satisfaction from that Electronic Lien Holder, the title status on DMV records will convert to an E-Title.

  5. Submit the form HSMV 82139, the printout of the title status and a check for $74.75 to the tax Collector's office. The lien will be added and show you as the lien holder.

In this scenario, you will not submit a paper title.

 

If you are an Electronic Lien Holder participant, the new title will be held electronically and will be considered an Electronic Lien Holder Title.  Otherwise, the title will be mailed to you as the lien holder.

 

  1. There is a lien with another financial institution and there is a paper title; and you are paying off the lien for your customer.

  1. Pay the other financial institution and request the title to be mailed to you.

  2. Submit the form HSMV 82139, the title and a check for $74.75 to the tax Collector's office. The lien will be added and show you as the lien holder. 

If you are an Electronic Lien Holder participant, the new title will be held electronically and will be considered an Electronic Lien Holder Title. Otherwise, the title will be mailed to you as the lien holder.
