Idaho lienholder title request

Moving a financed car to Idaho? Start with the state title path.

Idaho's new-resident path calls for the current title and registration plus the lienholder's name and address. The county records the continuing lien and sends the new title to the lienholder.

What to do before the lender sends anything

The document and destination recipient need to match. Sending the right title to the wrong place can still stop the move.

01Start with Idaho
Confirm the county's title recipient and ask the lender how it will deliver the current title before starting the Idaho transaction.
02Confirm the lender's document
Ask what it will release, its fee and handling time, and whether it sends to you or directly to the office.
03Keep the proof trail
Save the request, send confirmation, delivery record, agency receipt, and final registration proof in that order.
