DMV Title Alert:  In an effort to have all Californians comply with the required Electronic Lien for vehicle titles, DMV will no longer accept a paper form to release a title. Titles must be released through DMV’s electronic system. What does this mean to you? When you pay off your car/truck loan, our DMV specialist will put in an electronic request, and you will receive your title in 5 to 7 days. Your title will no longer be available at the Credit Union. It will come directly from DMV.
