It does not fall under their responsibility but you should be able to discuss it with them in order for them to provide you with one upon request. However, there should be a nominal fee being charged for the application process.

No. The intention of the Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) was to protect consumers from buying a car with a lien on it from a private individual or from a curbsider. Even if you are buying from a registered dealer it is a good idea to get one. The dealer may offer to provide it, or you can obtain one from the Licensing Offices of the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for $20. In addition to information on any lien, you’ll find who the previous owners of the vehicle were.
