All natural or legal persons legally constituted in Ecuador or branches of foreign companies domiciled in the country may lift the lien that weighs on a movable asset (vehicle, machinery, etc.) once the obligation has been canceled or paid in its totality, indicates the National Directorate of Public Records (Dinarp).
Citizens may make the cancellation only in the Mercantile Registry in which the registration was made.

After payment in favor of the Mercantile Registry of the canton where your registration was requested, you must enter the “Online procedure” option.
The next step is to fill out the web form, attaching the payment and the requirements to the form (it must be legible and according to the procedure).
In the form you must select one of the following options:

NEW PROCESS: In case you are entering your application for the first time or your process has not yet been invoiced.
PROCESS RE-ENTRY: To enter payments or correct documents of a previously requested procedure.

After these procedures, the invoice is received (when it is entered for the first time) and observations must be corrected (if any) by re-entering the procedure on the gob.ec platform (“Online procedure” option).
Thus, the registration is finally received.
