328.165 Cancellation of certificates.

   (1) If it appears that a certificate of title has been improperly issued, the department shall cancel the certificate. Upon cancellation of any certificate of title, the department shall notify the person to whom the certificate of title was issued, and any lienholders appearing thereon, of the cancellation and shall demand the surrender of the certificate of title; however, the cancellation does not affect the validity of any lien noted thereon. The holder of the certificate of title shall immediately return it to the department. If a certificate of registration has been issued to the holder of a certificate of title so canceled, the department shall immediately cancel the certificate of registration and demand the return of the certificate of registration and the holder of such certificate of registration shall immediately return it to the department.

   (2) The department may, upon application by any person and payment of the proper fees, prepare and furnish lists containing title information in such form as the department authorizes, search the records of the department and make reports thereof, and make photographic copies of the department records and attestations thereof.
