Request and track the Chrysler Capital title packet to District of Columbia
DC tells lease and lien customers to use its out-of-state title request when the title holder has the document. Registration waits until DC DMV receives the title, and an out-of-state lessor also needs proof of its home-jurisdiction business license.
DC says the vehicle cannot be fully registered until DMV has the title. If old tags have expired, a 45-day temporary tag may cover inspection and the title wait.
Where the two processes meet
The lessor controls delivery. District of Columbia controls acceptance.
- 01Start with District of Columbia
Get DC DMV's title recipient details and send the out-of-state title request to the lessor before scheduling the final registration visit.
- 02Open the Chrysler Capital request
Ask the destination motor vehicle office what it needs. The chryslercapital.com website now redirects to Santander Consumer USA, so use Santander's Titles page for the state-change request.
- 03Use the official channel
Contact the State Titling Division for a formal request, then send that request to Santander by mail (Santander, Titles Department, 1601 Elm St., Dallas, TX 75201) or by fax (214-237-3549). Santander Consumer USA lists 800-526-0157 for titles, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT. That is Santander's number, not a confirmed Chrysler Capital lease line, and Santander's Titles page describes no separate lease process, so lessees should confirm lease steps with Santander.
- 04Confirm usable receipt
The customer sends DC's title request to the lessor and can track receipt in DC DMV's online title system. The lessor provides the title, signed lease paperwork, and its business-license copy when required.
What to ask Chrysler Capital for
Santander's Titles page says printing an electronic title averages four to six weeks, and the new state should then receive the title within fifteen business days after Santander gets the printed title. It gives no lease-specific time, so start before the destination deadline and record the request date.
Certificate of Title and Temporary Tag Application with required signatures
Signed lease or financial agreement and lessor business-license copy when required
DC credential, insurance, inspection, title receipt, and registration fees
