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.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Alabama MVT 20 1 form, it's essential to approach the task with care and attention to detail. Here are some helpful tips on what to do and what to avoid:

  • Do ensure that all information is accurate and matches the current Alabama title. This includes the vehicle identification number, owner details, and lienholder information.
  • Do type or print the form legibly. Illegible forms will be returned, causing delays in processing.
  • Do submit the application along with the current Alabama title and the required $15 application processing fee in certified funds.
  • Do double-check that you are using the correct form for your purpose. This form is specifically for recording a lien and not for transferring ownership.
  • Don't forget to sign the completed form. An unsigned application will not be processed.
  • Don't use personal checks or cash for the application fee. Only certified funds are acceptable.
  • Don't make any changes to the owner information other than address updates. Any alterations can lead to rejection.
  • Don't submit the form without the necessary supporting documents, as incomplete applications will delay the process.

Common mistakes

  1. Illegible handwriting: One of the most common mistakes is submitting a form that is difficult to read. Ensure that all information is typed or printed clearly to avoid delays in processing.

  2. Incorrect vehicle information: Double-check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), make, model, and year. Any discrepancies can lead to complications or rejection of the application.

  3. Missing signatures: All required signatures must be present. If any owner or authorized representative fails to sign the form, it will not be processed.

  4. Not including the current Alabama title: Remember to attach the current title for the vehicle. Submitting the form without this document will result in rejection.

  5. Incorrect fee payment: The application processing fee must be paid in certified funds. Personal checks and cash are not accepted. Be sure to include the correct amount to avoid delays.

  6. Providing false information: Any inaccuracies or false statements can lead to legal repercussions. Ensure that all information provided is true and correct to the best of your knowledge.

  7. Ignoring exemptions: Familiarize yourself with the exemptions related to the title application. Submitting a request for a vehicle that falls under these exemptions can lead to unnecessary complications.
