Either the primary borrower or co-borrower must be listed on the title.
No individuals may be listed on the title unless they have signed the security agreement. If we receive a title that includes additional names we will require non-borrowers to sign a security agreement. Trusts cannot be listed on titles.
Any individual having an ownership interest in the vehicle must sign our Security Agreement acknowledging the vehicle will be used to secure the loan.
No. A Co-signer cannot have ownership interest in the vehicle securing the loan.
No. At least one individual must be listed on the title.
Your state’s titling authority will send paper and electronic titles directly to SFFCU once we are added as the lienholder. For title holding states, the actual title isn’t sent. In these situations, either documentation stating SFFCU is listed as lienholder is provided, or you may be asked to provide a copy of the title showing SFFCU as the lienholder.
Please refer to our Title and Insurance Requirements page and follow the instructions as outlined.
We will adjust the interest rate to the default rate until we have verification SFFCU has been added as lienholder. Once this is verified, we will revert the rate back to the original vehicle loan rate. In addition, existing Line of Credit account advances may not be approved.
Each state is different, please contact your state titling office for instructions. Please complete this as soon as possible, as the timeframe varies by state.
State-specific titling instructions may be found here.
We require members to handle the titling process in order to provide the benefits of reduced loan rates and no loan fees.
Typically, dealers are required to record SFFCU as lienholder on the vehicle being purchased. For private party purchases it is the responsibility of the member (or buyer) to contact their state titling agency for more information on all documents and fees necessary to title their vehicle.
Please refer to our Title and Insurance Requirements page for detailed information.

We process all titles within 2 business days of being paid in full.
If your loan is paid in full with a personal check, it will be released after 10 business days. If your title is electronic, it may take longer as it is your state’s responsibility to release your title after receiving notification from SFFCU. The timing for receiving titles varies by state.

If you plan to finance your new vehicle with SFFCU, we will pay off the loan for the vehicle you are trading and send the remaining balance to the dealer. We will release the lien of the traded vehicle and send separately in most cases to the dealer.
If you do not plan to finance your new vehicle will SFFCU, we will pay off the loan for the vehicle you are trading. We will then release the lien of the traded vehicle and send separately in most cases to the dealer.

Specialty type vehicles (i.e., ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, certain boats, boat trailers & boat motors, etc.) that do not issue titles will require a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filing to secure our interest as lienholder.
