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.

    Open New Jersey MVC: Form OS/SS-54 Title Release Request, confirm the recipient with the intended office, and give the completed request to the lender through its approved channel.

  2. 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.

  3. 03Keep the proof trail

    Save the request, send confirmation, delivery record, agency receipt, and final registration proof in that order.
