Electronic Lien Titling

Maine's Electronic Lien Titling (ELT) Program allows BMV and lenders to exchange lien and title information electronically through a third-party service provider. This means participating lenders will receive an electronic title record in lieu of a paper certificate of title. After a lender releases a lien electronically, BMV will print a paper title and mail it to the vehicle's owner.

Lender participation in this program is optional.
