To obtain a release of lien on Airplanes, Aircraft Engines or
Propellers, please provide us with the following required
document(s):
- A copy of a Title Report from a Aircraft Title Agency
for the aircraft that you are requesting the release on. The copy
must be readable and clearly show the Debtor's Name,
Secured Party or Lienholder's Name, the FAA Registration Number,
Aircraft Serial Number, Aircraft Manufacturer and Model, the date of
the Security Conveyance, the date of the recording of the Security
Conveyance, and the Conveyance Number. Please note that a
registration certificate is not the same as a title report and is
not acceptable.
Please remember that FDIC can only accept a release request when the
lienholder is a Bank or Savings and Loan Institution that failed and
has been placed in FDIC receivership, OR, a Subsidiary of a Failed
Bank or Savings and Loan. If you're not sure, please call the DRR
Customer Service Center at 972-761-2077 or toll-free
at 888-206-4662.
It is highly suggested you also provide the following
documents, if available:
- Proof that the loan was paid in full. Proof of Payoff may
include such things as a copy of a "PAID" Note,
copies of payment checks, or anything else that would
indicate payment. This will greatly reduce the amount of research
time and expedite our handling of your request.
Where to send your request
- A request for a Release of Lien must be made in writing.
- You can mail your request to: FDIC, 1601 Bryan Street, Dallas TX
75201 Attention: DRR Customer Service Center
- OR it can be faxed to 703-812-1082
- We ask that you either fax your request OR mail it in.
Please do not do both. Hard to read documents should be mailed or
sent overnight, rather than faxed. Unreadable documents cannot be
processed.
Be sure to include your address and phone number with
your written request.
Because of the large volume of release requests we get,
it may take up to 30 business days
to obtain a release of lien so you may want to plan accordingly.
If you have any questions you may call the DRR Customer Service
Center at 972-761-2077 or toll-free at 888-206-4662
between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Central Time, Monday through
Friday (except holidays). A Customer Service Representative will be
happy to answer your questions, OR, check out our Frequently
Asked Questions.
