Nevada lien-release procedure for liened side by side sales
If the side by side carries an active lien, the seller cannot transfer clean title to the buyer until the lien is released. Nevada handles this through a documented sequence that the lienholder, seller, and buyer must complete in order. Skipping a step often means the new title is issued with the lien still noted, blocking resale.
Obtain Form VP 009 from the Nevada DMV or request a lien release letter from the lienholder.
Lienholder completes VP 009 or provides a signed release letter.
Submit the lien release with the existing title and title application at a Nevada DMV office.
Pay the title fee and receive a clean Nevada title.
Form reference: VP 009 or Lienholder Letter is the Nevada document used to clear a lien on a side by side title before a Pershing County same-day sale transfer can be recorded.
