Electronic Lien and Title Print Titles

Once a California lien has been satisfied (paid off), the electronic lien will be released by the lienholder within the California ELT system. A lienholder with a California e-title may request a printed paper title from the California DMV at any time through the California ELT system (there is no fee for a printed title request). By default (and automatically), each California electronic title gets printed at the time of releasing an electronic lien.

Each request for a printed title requires a digital signature and confirmation to ensure that electronic titles don't get printed accidentally. If you give employees access to your California ELT account, you can restrict their ability to request printed titles.
