2. Most current out-of-state registration; and
3. Out-of-State title. If the title is being held by a lienholder, you will need to provide the complete name and address of the lien holder.
4. The fee for a TN title and plate good for one year is $94.00. Check should be made payable to: Sumner County Clerk. All leased vehicles will need a power of attorney from the leasing company authorizing your application for a TN title and $2.00 lease fee.
