Documents used along the form

When dealing with vehicle titles and liens in Alabama, several documents may accompany the Alabama Mvt 20 1 form. Each serves a specific purpose in ensuring proper compliance with state regulations. Below are some commonly used forms and documents.

  • Form MVT 5-1E: This form is used by designated agents to record liens. It is essential for situations where a lienholder needs to establish a security interest in a vehicle but cannot use the MVT 20 1 form.
  • Current Alabama Title: This document must accompany the MVT 20 1 form. It serves as proof of ownership and is necessary for processing the lien application.
  • Application Processing Fee: A fee of $15.00 in certified funds is required for processing the application. This fee is non-refundable and must be submitted with the MVT 20 1 form.
  • Proof of Identity: A valid form of identification may be required to verify the identity of the lienholder or vehicle owner. This helps prevent fraud and ensures that the application is legitimate.

Using these documents correctly can streamline the process of recording or transferring a lien in Alabama. Always ensure that all forms are filled out accurately to avoid delays.

Instructions

This form shall be typed or printed legibly.

Illegible forms will be returned.

This form is designed for use by a lienholder in order for an owner of a vehicle to comply with section 32-8-61, Code of Alabama 1975, where an owner creates a security interest in a vehicle.

This form may not be used on a transfer of ownership or by designated agents. Designated agents shall use form MVT 5-1E to record liens.

NOTE: Vehicle information and owner information shall be identical to information appearing on surrendered alabama title except for current mailing address and current alabama resident address.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS – This application shall be accompanied by the current Alabama title to this vehicle and the title fee (certified funds only) payable to the Alabama Department of Revenue.

Exemptions

(1)Effective January 1, 2012, no certificate of title shall be issued for any manufactured homes, trail- er, semi-trailer, travel trailer, or folding or collapsible camping trailer more than twenty (20) model years old. This exemption is applicable on January 1 of each year and applies to all manufactured homes, trailers, semi-trailers, travel trailers, and folding or collapsible camping trailers with a model year, as designated by the manufacturer, older than twenty (20) years from the current cal- endar year. All utility trailers, other than folding or collapsible camping trailers, are still exempt from titling regardless of the year model.

Example: As of January 1, 2012, all 1991 and prior year model manufactured homes, trailers, semi-trailers, travel trailers, and folding or collapsible camping trailers are exempt from the titling provisions of Chapter 8, Title 32, Code of Alabama 1975.

(2)Effective January 1, 2012, no certificate of title shall be issued for any motor vehicle more than thirty-five (35) model years old. This exemption is applicable on January 1 of each year and applies to all motor vehicles with a model year, as designated by the manufacturer, older than thir- ty-five (35) years from the current calendar year.

Example: As of January 1, 2012, all 1976 and prior year model motor vehicles are exempt from the titling provisions of Chapter 8, Title 32, Code of Alabama 1975.

(3)Effective January 1, 2012, no certificate of title shall be issued for a low speed vehicle. A low speed vehicle is defined as a four-wheeled motor vehicle with a top speed of not greater than 25 miles per hour, a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of which is less than 3,000 pounds and complying with the safety standards provided in 49 C.F.R. Section 571.500. The term includes neighborhood electric vehicles.

NOTE: The exemption from titling does not invalidate any Alabama certificate of title that is currently in effect. However, no subsequent title, including a certificate of title to record or transfer a lien, can be issued if the vehicle is exempt from titling.
