Can the lien release for a paper title be faxed or electronically submitted to the Division of Vehicles?
No. A title issued prior to the implementation of the electronic title statute, January 1, 2003, that has a lien record on it must have the lien release portion of the title completed and notarized or have a separate notarized lien release attached to it. Since Kansas was a title to owner state prior to the statute change, statute still requires that the lien release be provided to the owner. If a lien release is faxed or electronically submitted to the Division of Vehicles for a paper title, the Division of Vehicles will not process the release.
