Manage Your Vehicle Liens the Right Way
Adding or removing a lien on your title requires precise paperwork and OMV compliance. Mistakes can delay financing, title transfers, or registration renewals. Our licensed agents work with the Louisiana OMV and Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) system to record lienholders accurately or release existing liens once your loan is paid off.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Louisiana ELT program and how does it affect lien filings?
The Louisiana Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) system allows the OMV, lienholders, and public tag agents to exchange lien and title information digitally. When you request a lien addition or release, we file it electronically through ELT so your title status updates quickly and accurately.
How do I request a lien release after my loan is paid off?
Once your loan is paid off, provide the lienholder’s release document and proof of payment. We then file the lien release with the OMV and ELT system to update your title to clear ownership.
What documents are needed to add a lien to my vehicle title?
You’ll need your title, valid photo ID, the loan agreement or security instrument, and lender information. We review and submit these documents to the OMV to ensure compliance with Louisiana requirements.
Can you issue a paper title after a lien release via ELT?
Yes. After an electronic lien release is filed through the ELT system, a paper title is printed and mailed to the vehicle owner or designated recipient as proof of the updated record.
What if the original title with lien release is lost or stolen?
If your title showing a lien release is lost or stolen, we can request a duplicate title that notes the lien as satisfied. You’ll need to provide a sworn statement or proof of the lien discharge.
