Yes, you can register a car with a lien on it. Once you turn in that title from the seller with the lien on it when you are registering that lien will be recorded over to the title issued in your name.
The lien has nothing to do with registering a vehicle. It has everything to do with selling a vehicle.

∙ 14y agoMOST vehicles have a lien- if you took out a loan to buy the vehicle, the company that holds the loan is a lien holder. It means that you cannot SELL the vehicle or dispose of it without their knowledge, and their financial interest being satisfied (loan repaid)- but the owner of the vehicle can still register it, drive it, etc.

Does a mechanic's lien include a car?
In most states the person who repairs a vehicle has an artisan's lien. An artisan's lien is a possessory lien meaning that a) no recording of any document is required to obtain the lien, however b) the lien is only good while it is in your possession. If you return the vehicle to the owner you have lost your lien. If the owner takes the vehicle without your consent, your lien is not defeated, however, in most states the act of taking the vehicle from you will be considered theft by the vehicle owner.
Can a car be title in one name but registered in another?
The only way that a person could register a car in one name and title it to another in CA would be if you put the person who is going to operate the vehicle as the "Registered Owner" and put the other person on as the "Legal Owner" This would mean the person who is listed as the "Lien Holder" would receive the title and the vehicle can not be sold or transferred without the lien holder signing off the title.

Can a towing company auction a vehicle without notice?
only if they have a lien on the the title for any service that you have not paid for. its called a mechanics lien. Even if they have a mechanics lien, they still have to notify the registered owner via certified mail, and give them a chance to pay the bill. You can't just get a title or magistrate's bill of sale without proof that you have done everything possible to contact the owner first. The owner has 30 days to contact the person that has the vehicle. If they don't, then the vehicle can be sold at a magistrates auction and will be given a title for the vehicle.

What if a vehicle is bought that has a lien on it from first owner but been through a number of other owners can that vehicle be repossed in Ontario?
Now that Ontario has the used car package, you should be aware if any outstanding liens are on this vehicle. However if you purchased the vehicle with a lien still on it you are liable for that lien and the vehicle can be repo'd. If the vehicle was bought through a dealer then they are liable for the lien. Also check the lien to see if it has expired, as this is a case that happens alot. The lien expires but still shows up on the lien search or the original lien has been paid but the lien holder never released it.
