Virginia lien-release procedure for liened truck sales

If the truck carries an active lien, the seller cannot transfer clean title to the buyer until the lien is released. Virginia 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.

  1. Obtain Form VSA 5 from the Virginia DMV or the lienholder.
  2. Lienholder completes and signs VSA 5 releasing the lien.
  3. Submit VSA 5 with the existing title and title application at a Virginia DMV customer service center.
  4. Pay the title fee and receive a clean Virginia title.

Form reference: VSA 5 (Lien Release) is the Virginia document used to clear a lien on a truck title before a King and Queen County cash sale transfer can be recorded.
