MOTOR VEHICLE E-LIEN PROGRAM

General Information

Mississippi’s Motor Vehicle E-Lien Program transitions the Department from a paper lien process to an electronic lien system which aims to facilitate a more efficient and secure process between financial institutions and the Department through the use of a service provider.

All lienholders with a FEIN are required to release liens electronically within 14 days of satisfaction. If a lienholder fails to electronically release a lien within 14 days, then a $250 penalty may be assessed for each incident.  Lienholders are also required to enroll in the program using one of the approved service providers listed below.
