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

Skipping a step often means the new title is issued with the lien still noted, blocking resale.
Lienholder completes the lien release section on the back of the existing Wyoming title.
Owner submits the released title and title application at a county clerk's office.
Pay the title fee and receive a clean Wyoming title.
