When a loan has been recorded against the vehicle and the title is being held by a lender in another state, the registration is needed, although the title may not be required.  
  •  A lien release is needed before the vehicle title can be transferred to another person. If there is a lien on the vehicle that has not been paid off, written permission from the lienholder/lender will be required to add or delete a name.
