To obtain a lien release you may be asked to provide a copy of the Title for the vehicle that you are requesting be released.What you should do is contact your bank or another service to get a loan to pay off the remainder of the original lien. There's a form that we'll pull up here in a minute that will show you how to get that lien release. Submit the replacement title form (VT004) and a lien release. Complete the form to download your free New York Mechanics Lien Release Form template. If the title has a lien holder listed on it, we will need a lien release statement from the lending institution listed.
