Certified Lienholder Change Request Form (Texas)

Financial institutions that are certified lienholders in Texas can use the Certified Lienholder Change Request Form to update their information with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). This form is part of the Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) program and must be completed in its entirety.

What Is the Certified Lienholder Change Request?

The change request allows an existing certified lienholder to modify details such as the lienholder name, address, contact information, or ELT participation status. It is only for institutions already enrolled in the ELT program.
