To implement this legislation, the Title and Registration Section has worked with lending institutions, service providers and Colorado County Clerks to create this new program.
- What is ELT?
-
The Electronic Lien and Title Program is a method by which the State of Colorado, Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles and lending institutions (lienholders) can exchange vehicle and title information electronically. Please click here for a guide to the Colorado ELT program
- How does ELT work?
-
The State transmits essential identifying information electronically to an approved Service Provider who communicates with the lienholder thus eliminating the need to print and mail paper titles. Once the lien has been satisfied, the lienholder notifies the Service Provider who sends an electronic message releasing the title at which point the State prints and mails a paper title to the vehicle owner, or a third party designated by the lienholder.
