Legislation | All About Titles
In simplest terms, legislation needs to acknowledge the validity of an electronic record of ownership and lien as valid.
When considering changes to legislation, also consider
Allowing the DMV to accept title applications with an electronic signature. This allows for an electronic title application which can speed up processing. It does not eliminate the need for supporting documents like a prior title.
Incentives to motivate lienholders to use ELT. One such incentive would be raising the fee for paper titles. This would be less dramatic than requiring participation (another option to consider).
Allowing the DMV to change fees. Many jurisdictions have set DMV fees into law. Examine the fees for current applicability.
Allowing lenders to collect Service Provider fees along with DMV fees.

Arizona HB 2052 (2001)
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 42 states are “title holding” states, which means that the state allows a bank or financial institution that has a lien on a vehicle to retain possession of the vehicle’s title until the loan has been paid in full. In Arizona, the borrower maintains possession of the vehicle’s certificate of title while continuing to pay off the loan and the title indicates the lien or encumbrance on the vehicle at the time of transfer. Upon final payment on a lien or encumbrance, the holder of the lien or encumbrance delivers the certificate of title to the owner of the vehicle. On delivery to the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) by the owner of the vehicle, MVD satisfies the lien in the records and issues a clear title to the owner of the vehicle.
