Paid off your car loan? Congratulations! But your title still shows a bank or lender as the legal owner?
You’re not alone. Thousands of California drivers complete their final car payment but never receive proper instructions on how to remove the lienholder from the title. Lienworks can help you fix that, get a clean title in your name, and avoid DMV delays.
🚗 Why Does the Bank Still Appear on My Title?
When you finance a vehicle, the bank or lender is added as a “legal owner” on your California Certificate of Title. Once you pay off the loan, they must release the lien so you can become the sole legal owner.
But here’s the catch: the DMV doesn’t automatically update your title. You must submit paperwork to remove the bank from your title.
💡 Pro Tip: Some banks electronically release titles. If your title is “paperless,” you’ll still need to request a printed release.
