VIEW & MANAGE
ELECTRONIC LIENS
AND TITLES

After a VSA 17A title application is submitted to a Virginia tag office, they will transmit the lienholder and title information directly to your USA ELT account where you're able to see, sort, filter, and search for all the liens that have been assigned to your business. You can view the Virginia lien and title information in a visually friendly format and perform actions such as releasing the lien or printing the title.
RELEASE LIENS

After receiving a payoff from a customer, you'll release the lien on the vehicle electronically through USA ELT. Virginia titles can be printed and mailed when a lien is released or kept in electronic format. Each release requires a digital signature and secure confirmation to ensure that liens don't get released accidentally or fraudulently. Employee access to releasing liens can be restricted.
PRINT TITLES

A title can be printed and mailed to you from the Virginia DMV while the lien is active or at the time of release. When an electronic lien is released in Virginia it gets printed and mailed by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles or is kept in electronic format.
CONVERT PAPER TITLES
TO ELECTRONIC TITLES

As lienholders transition to the Virginia electronic lien program, there will be a large number of Virginia paper titles with liens on them. With Virginia ELT, you have the option of converting these Virginia paper titles to Virginia electronic titles.
