How to Get the Title for a Car in Michigan After It Is Paid Off
- 1). Inspect your loan documentation; write down the name and contact number for the lender. Make a note of the make, model, year and vehicle identification number of your car. Write down your loan number for future reference.
- 2). Write the number and amount of the check you used to pay the balance of your loan. Note the transaction confirmation number if you paid the loan off online.
- 3). Call your lender. Explain that you have not received the title after sending the final payment. Give the lender your loan number and the information about your payment method.
- 4). Call the Michigan Secretary of State at 888-767-6424 if the lender will not send the title. Provide the office with your lender's contact information, loan information and the vehicle's information. The office will take steps to provide you with the title if you have satisfied your obligation.
