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.

  1. 01Start with Oregon

    Confirm the DMV packet and fees, then use the security-interest holder's approved channel so it can pair the application with the ownership document.

  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.
