Loan discharge is the legal process of removing your lender's registered mortgage from your property's title - it occurs automatically at refinancing settlement or is arranged directly when paying off the loan.
Major banks typically process discharges within 7–10 business days. Smaller lenders may take up to 15 business days. For refinancing, the discharge is coordinated to happen on settlement day.
