What should I do if title is being held by lienholder?
If your title is being held by a lienholder you could first contact the MVA at the Customer Service Center at 1-800-950-1682. If you do not have the title document or certificate, the MVA will provide you with a letter (form# VR-056) to send to your lienholder requesting the title(s) be sent to the MVA. Upon receipt of the title document(s), the MVA will write or call you to inform you that we have received the title(s). We will inform you of the excise tax due and ask you to send your completed Application for Title (form # VR-005) and payment (check or money order) made payable to the MVA. The check should include payment for the following: title fee, fee to record the lien, and excise tax and tag fees.
