Transferring title of a car with a lein?

Asked by Seek (34805points) February 8th, 2010

My husband’s drivers’ license is suspended. We just found out that the DMV will not renew the registration on the vehicle, because it’s in his name. This is the family vehicle, and the only one currently operating safely.

The DMV says to register the vehicle, they have to transfer the registration to my name, which means they have to transfer the title to my name. And to do that, we need a signed letterhead from the lien holder giving permission to transfer the title.

Who is the lien holder? Is it the bank that we send payments to? is it the company we bought the car from?

((edit: Stupid spelling mistake))
