Not a form at all - a letter from Motor Vehicle Services setting out what Oklahoma will accept when a lender cannot produce a standard lien release. It names four things a statement from the secured party has to contain, adds that all the information in it must be typed, and says the original must be submitted although a fax may be accepted where it clearly originated from the lien holder. A seller trying to clear an old lien hands this letter to the lender, because it is the specification the lender's letter has to meet.
Written against FL-797 (Rev 01/2023), issued under 47 O.S. 1110. Getting a lien off an Oklahoma record is a lender's act, not a seller's. Service Oklahoma will file a release posted to it and charges nothing to do so - but if you want a certificate that no longer shows the lien, that is a fresh title transaction with its own fee. Sort it out before the car is advertised, not while a buyer is waiting.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank FL-797 from the oklahoma.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is a letter from Service Oklahoma's Motor Vehicle Services to lienholders rather than a form for anybody to complete: the only blank on the whole page is the date at the top, and the document it specifies - the lender's own typed, notarised lien satisfied statement - is written by the lender on the lender's own paper. There is nothing here to show filled in, so the page shows what the letter requires instead.
| On the form | What to put in it |
|---|---|
| Date | The only blank on the sheet, at the head of the letter. |
| Name of the Secured Party | The first statutory requirement, with a parenthetical: if successor by merger, succession papers must be attached. |
| Name of the Debtor | The second, with its own instruction - if the vehicle is leased, use the lessor's name and not the lessee. |
| Vehicle identification number (VIN) for a vehicle, hull identification number (HIN) for a boat, or serial number for an outboard motor | The third, covering all three kinds of property Oklahoma titles. |
| Notarized signature of the Secured Party's representative | The fourth, and the one that makes this a sworn document rather than a letterhead. |
| All information in the lien satisfied statement must be typed! | Printed as its own line, with the exclamation mark on the page. |
| The submission rule | The original lien release statement must be submitted; a faxed copy may be accepted provided the fax clearly originated from the lien holder. |
| Contact details | A direct number, an in-state toll-free number and the Service Oklahoma website, for a lender that wants to check before writing. |
Every line here was read off FL-797 (Rev 01/2023) itself — the PDF is here — and off the Service Oklahoma, Motor Vehicle Services pages. This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ, theirs governs.
