A. Upon creation of a certificate of title, the CNTC shall promptly deliver the certificate of title, if written, or a record evidencing an electronic certificate of title, if electronic, to the secured party of record, if any, at the address shown on the security interest statement submitted by the secured party of record and, unless previously provided to the owner of record, shall deliver a record evidencing the certificate of title to that owner at the address indicated in the files of the CNTC. If no secured party is indicated in the files of the CNTC, the certificate of title or record evidencing the electronic certificate of title must be delivered to the owner of record. The secured party of record, if any, may elect to have the CNTC create a written certificate of title. The owner of record also may make such an election but only if no secured party is indicated in the files of the CNTC.

B. Within a reasonable period not to exceed fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a request for a written certificate of title pursuant to subsection (A), the CNTC shall create and deliver the certificate to the person making the request.

C. If a written certificate of title is created, any existing electronic certificate of title covering the vehicle is canceled. The cancellation must be noted in the files of the CNTC with an indication of the date and time of the cancellation.

D. Any existing written certificate of title must be canceled before an electronic certificate of title is created. The cancellation must be noted on the face of the written certificate of title and in the files of the CNTC with an indication of the date and time of the cancellation.
