§ 336.9-311 — Perfection of Security Interests in Property Subject to Certain Statutes, Regulations, and Treaties

Plain-Language Summary

A security interest in property subject to a certificate-of-title statute (like motor vehicles) is perfected by notation on the certificate of title, not by filing a financing statement.

Practical Notes
For cars and other titled vehicles, the lender perfects by putting the lien on the title, not by filing a UCC-1.
