The fee for recording such security interests must be paid by the lender. However, if a dealer has completed and filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles an application for registration or title of a vehicle and, within 10 days thereafter, the dealer receives the appropriate filing fees and notification of the desire of the lender to have his lien recorded, the dealer shall, within 24 hours of such receipt, prepare and submit a notice of lien (Form MV-900) properly completed, to the Title Bureau, Department of Motor Vehicles, South Mall, Albany, NY 12228, together with the appropriate recording fees and the dealer shall sign his name on behalf of the lien holder in the space provided on the notice of lien (Form MV-900) for the lien holder' s signature and shall state on such form, the date when the application for registration or title was filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
