What if Regional Acceptance says it sent the title but South Dakota cannot find it?

Ask Regional Acceptance what title document was sent, the send date, exact recipient, and available delivery evidence. Then ask the South Dakota office whether it received and associated that document with the transaction. Sending, delivery, and agency acknowledgement are separate milestones.

What can I keep in the saved lender handoff?

Keep the route-specific request worksheet, unsigned cover sheet, follow-up scripts, recipient and document checks, handoff milestones, and final proof checklist together.
