Alabama Mvt 20 1 PDF Details

Navigating the intricacies of vehicle ownership documentation in Alabama, particularly when it comes to recording or transferring a lien, requires a thorough understanding of specific forms and their proper application. Among these, the Alabama MVT 20-1 form holds significant importance. This form, sanctioned by the Alabama Department of Revenue, serves as an application for a certificate of title, specifically to record or transfer a lien, without involving a transfer of ownership. It's crucial to recognize that this form isn't applicable for all situations and is reserved for instances where there is an outstanding Alabama title, with strict guidelines preventing its use by designated agents for ownership transfers. Information pertaining to the vehicle, such as the identification number, make, model, year, and current title details, alongside owner and lienholder information, forms the core of the document. A notable stipulation is the prohibition of changes in owner information – excluding address modifications – when transferring liens. Additionally, the requirement for certifying the accuracy of the information under penalty of felony emphasizes the seriousness of the form's application process. Exemptions detailed on the form highlight specific situations where a certificate of title isn't issued, affecting certain vehicles based on age or type. Processing this form necessitates a $15 fee, and calls for diligence in ensuring that all submitted information mirrors that on the surrendered Alabama title, barring updates to mailing and resident addresses. This process underscores the state's effort to maintain a reliable record of vehicle ownership and lien status, crucial for protecting the interests of all parties involved.

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.
