Lien Release on a Mobile Home

Single wide, Double wide, etc. please provide us with the following required document(s):

  • A copy of the Title or Non-Negotiable Title for the Mobile Home that you are requesting to be released. The copy must be readable and clearly show the Owner's Name, Lienholder's Name, the Label or Serial Number, the Year, the Make and Model, and the Weight and Size.

    If the Title or Non-Negotiable Title has been lost or is unavailable, you will have to request a printout from the State containing the title information, and forward it to us. This printout is sometimes called a Inquiry Report, Title Report or a TWIX. Depending on the State in which you live, you may have to go to the Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Public Safety, or the local Tax Office for this printout and there may be a small fee for it. 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 Standard Time, Monday through Friday (except Holidays). A Customer Service Representative will be happy to answer your questions, OR, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.
