Within 60 days of purchasing or refinancing your car, truck, motorcycle, boat, or RV, a Certificate of Title or other proof of ownership indicating State Farm Federal Credit Union as the first lienholder must be submitted to SFFCU. If the lien-recorded title isn’t received within that time frame, your loan’s APR may be converted to our personal loan rate, which is typically higher.
Submitting a Title to SFFCU

If you purchased your vehicle from a private seller or are titling the vehicle yourself, take the title to your local DMV. Each state has specific titling requirements. If you need assistance please contact your state titling agency for a complete list of all documents and fees needed to title vehicles in your state.
If you refinanced from another financial institution you should receive a released or clear title from the previous lender after the payoff has been processed. Take the title to your local DMV to add SFFCU as lienholder. If you need assistance please contact your state titling agency for a complete list of all documents and fees needed to title vehicles in your state.

Reminders
• The vehicle must be titled in at least either the borrower or co-borrower’s name. No individuals may be listed on the title unless they have signed the security agreement. If SFFCU receives a title that includes additional names, we will require a new security agreement be signed by all parties listed on the title. If your loan is in a business name, both your name and the business name will be required to be listed on the title.
• Non-titled vehicles require Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings to ensure SFFCU’s interest as lienholder. Contact your state agency for information.
