How do I get a lien release. my van has been paid off for several years?

To obtain a lien release for your paid-off van, first contact the lender or financial institution that held the lien. Request a formal lien release document, which may be provided electronically or by mail. You may need to provide proof of payment, such as a loan payoff statement or title. Once you receive the release, ensure to file it with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to clear the title.
