On creation of an electronic certificate of title, the department shall send a record evidencing the certificate of title to the owner of record and, if there is a secured party of record, to such secured party at the address indicated for that person in the files of the department. The department may send the record to the person's mailing address or, if indicated in the files of the department, an electronic address.

The department shall maintain in its files the date and time of such cancellation. (c) Before the department creates an electronic certificate of title, any person holding a written certificate of title shall surrender such written certificate of title. If the department creates an electronic certificate of title, the department shall destroy or otherwise cancel any such surrendered written certificate of title and maintain in its files the date and time of such destruction or other cancellation. If a written certificate of title being canceled is not destroyed, the department shall indicate on the face of the certificate of title that it has been canceled.
