Form ITD 3777, Release of Interest – Idaho

ITD 3777, Release of Interest, is the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) form on which a lienholder or other authorized signer attests that the lien on a vehicle has been satisfied and releases all interest in it.

The title printed at the top of the form reads "Release and Satisfaction Of Interest." The form is one page and is identified as ITD 3777 (Rev. 11-23), with dmv.Idaho.gov printed on it.

It describes the vehicle or hull by its Vehicle or Hull Identification Number (VIN/HIN), Title Number, year, make and model, and names the owner of record and the lienholder on record. A section marked "Complete the following if applicable" covers a lienholder whose name has changed: it has a line for the lienholder of record and the current lienholder name, with the wording "Is now Known As/DBA/One and the Same AS." The attestation says the lien listed has been satisfied on a date entered by the signer, and the release says "I/We do hereby release all interest in the above-described vehicle."

The releasing individual or business gives a printed name, address, city, state, Zip+4 and daytime phone number, and an authorized signature. A second authorized signature is requested "if necessary."

ITD's vehicle titling page lists ITD 3777 among its titling documents and forms. That page explains that a used vehicle bought from a private party needs the existing title with proper signatures releasing interest from the previous owner or lienholder. The form itself is not a title application and does not transfer ownership.

The party that holds an interest in an Idaho vehicle or hull and is releasing it signs this form. Because the attestation says that the lien listed has been satisfied, the form is aimed at a lienholder on record that has been paid, or at the successor of that lienholder. The printed name line accepts an individual or a business.

• Lienholders whose name has changed: complete the section marked "Complete the following if applicable," showing the lienholder of record and the current lienholder name that is now known as, doing business as, or one and the same as it.
• Businesses and multiple signers: the form provides an authorized signature line and a second authorized signature line to use if necessary.
• Owners and buyers: ITD's titling page says a vehicle bought used from a private party requires the existing title with proper signatures releasing interest from the previous owner or lienholder. If a properly released title cannot be obtained, ITD says a Bill of Sale may be used, but that process requires additional steps and a Conditional Title Statement of Facts.

The form does not say who may sign for someone else, such as through a power of attorney. Ask ITD before anyone signs on another person's behalf.

Complete ITD 3777 once the lien on the vehicle has been satisfied, because the form asks for the date on which that happened. The form prints no due date of its own.

The release usually supports a titling transaction. For a private party sale with no lienholder, ITD's titling page says the required documents must be filed with a county assessor's motor vehicle office within 30 days of transfer to avoid a late-filing penalty. For a purchase from an out-of-state dealer, the same 30-day window applies. Have the signed release ready before you file the title application so the titling documents are complete. ITD names the late-filing penalty but not a deadline specific to this form; ask ITD or your county motor vehicle office if your situation is different.

ITD 3777 prints no mailing address, portal or office, so it is delivered with the titling paperwork it supports, through ITD or a county motor vehicle office.

• County office: ITD's titling page says documents for a private party sale with no lienholder are filed with a county assessor's motor vehicle office. A title application may also be filed with ITD or a county motor vehicle office.
• By mail to ITD: for recording a lien on an existing Idaho title, ITD says the title and fee may be mailed to the Idaho Transportation Department, Vehicle Services Section, Post Office Box 34, Boise, Idaho 83707, or submitted to your county motor vehicle office. Confirm with ITD whether the same address applies to your release.
• Fees: ITD's titling page lists titling fees, which vary by transaction and county. The form prints no fee, so ask ITD or the county office for the amount.
