Registration and Title (Lien Recording) Instructions

If You Purchase From a Private Seller

Once the original title, bill of sale and Vehicle Power of Attorney have been received by iTHINK Financial’s Title Department, the completed paperwork will be sent to the DMV. Watch for an email with the fee breakdown and any additional documents needed. You will not be required to go to your local DMV to complete this paperwork. Once the DMV completes processing, you will receive your registration in the mail.

If You Purchase From a Dealer

Generally, the dealer completes the registration and lien placement, and the DMV forwards the title to iTHINK Financial. If you receive the title after registration and lien placement, forward it to:

iTHINK Financial – Consumer Lending
647 Roswell Street NE
Marietta, GA 30060

If you need a temporary tag, contact your local DMV/Tag agency.

What Is a Lien?

A lien gives a lender the right to hold or sell property used as security for a debt. When collateral secures an iTHINK Financial loan, iTHINK Financial must be recorded as the first lienholder. If the borrower defaults, the collateral may be taken and sold to repay the loan.

When Is a VIN Required?

A vehicle identification number (VIN) is required when an automobile or motorcycle is used as collateral. Boats and other collateral require the applicable hull or serial number. This number is required at application unless you are applying for pre-approval.

How to Register Your Vehicle or Obtain a License Plate

After you sign your loan documents:

  1. All documents go to iTHINK Financial’s Title Department.
  2. The Title Department prepares the title, application and other paperwork for the DMV.
  3. A title specialist emails you if additional documents are needed. Respond promptly to help prevent delays.
  4. The paperwork is sent to the DMV/Tag agency by trackable or certified mail.
  5. After delivery, allow up to 14 business days for DMV/Tag agency processing.
  6. Once the title is processed, your registration is mailed to you.
  7. Contact your local DMV/Tag agency for a temporary tag, if applicable.

The overall process can take up to 30 days.

Answers before you apply

Vehicle Loan Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about pre-approval, refinancing, membership and vehicle financing.

Do you have to pay to refinance a car?

There is no application fee to refinance a car loan at iTHINK Financial. You may have state-specific costs associated with transferring the lien, title or registration. Check whether your current lender charges a prepayment penalty or other fee before refinancing.

Can I get pre-approved for a car loan at a credit union?

Yes. iTHINK Financial offers vehicle-loan pre-approval before you choose a vehicle, and you do not need a VIN to get pre-approved. You must be a member to close the loan, but membership can be opened while your loan application is being processed. Once you select your vehicle, the VIN is required to complete the loan.

How often should I refinance my car?

There is no fixed schedule for refinancing a vehicle. It may make sense to consider refinancing when your credit has improved, available rates have changed or a different loan term would better fit your financial goals. Compare the remaining balance, available rate, loan term and total interest before deciding whether to refinance.

Is my car loan interest tax deductible?

Car loan interest may be deductible for certain eligible taxpayers and qualifying vehicles under current federal tax law. iTHINK Financial will provide Form 1098-VLI to eligible vehicle-loan borrowers at the end of the year going forward. This is general information and is not tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional about your individual situation.

Is refinancing a car worth it right now?

It depends on your existing loan and the rate and terms you qualify for today. Refinancing may be worth considering if your credit has improved, your current interest rate is higher than available rates or you want to change the length of your loan. Compare the remaining balance, new loan term, monthly payment and total interest before applying.

What should I look for when choosing an auto lender?

Compare the annual percentage rate (APR), loan term, fees and total cost of borrowing rather than focusing only on the monthly payment. Also consider whether the lender offers pre-approval, what types of vehicles it finances, its vehicle eligibility requirements and whether membership is required. Comparing more than one financing option can help you make an informed decision.

Should I finance through the dealership or my credit union?

Getting pre-approved through your credit union before visiting the dealership gives you a financing offer to compare with dealer financing. You can then compare the APR, loan term, fees and total cost of each offer and choose the option that works best for you.

Do I have to be a member to get an auto loan?

Yes. iTHINK Financial is a member-owned credit union, so you must be a member to close a vehicle loan. Eligible applicants can open membership while their loan application is being processed.

Do I need GAP insurance in Florida?

GAP coverage is not required by Florida law. It can help cover the difference between what your auto insurer pays if a vehicle is totaled or stolen and the amount you still owe on the loan. iTHINK Financial offers GAP Total Loss Protection as an optional vehicle-protection product.

What credit score do I need for a car loan?

iTHINK Financial does not publish a minimum credit score for vehicle loans. Loan approval and available rates and terms depend on your credit qualifications and other underwriting requirements.

How long can I finance a car?

iTHINK Financial offers financing for eligible new and used cars and trucks with flexible terms. Available terms depend on the vehicle and your credit qualifications. Longer loan terms can reduce the monthly payment but may increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

Can I finance a boat, motorcycle, RV or golf cart?

Yes. iTHINK Financial offers financing for new and used motorcycles, boats, motorhomes, camping trailers and golf carts in addition to cars and trucks. Available rates, terms and vehicle requirements vary by loan type.
