Request and track the Ford Credit title packet to Washington
Washington tells movers whose title is held by a bank to get the chosen vehicle licensing office's fax number and have the title holder fax a copy. The title application separately records the registered owner and legal owner or lienholder.
Washington requires the driver license before vehicle registration and gives new residents 30 days. A generic title copy sent to the wrong office does not complete the handoff.

Where the two processes meet
The lessor controls delivery. Washington controls acceptance.
- 01Start with Washington
Choose the Washington vehicle licensing office before contacting the lessor. Ask the office for its fax number and confirm how it wants the lessor shown as legal owner.
- 02Open the Ford Credit request
Use Register Vehicle in Another State in Ford Credit Account Manager. Ford also says a county clerk may initiate the transfer and request the physical title or a copy.
- 03Use the official channel
Follow the Account Manager steps and compare them with Ford Credit's current state-to-state title transfer guide.
- 04Confirm usable receipt
The lessee chooses a vehicle licensing office and gets its fax number. The lessor sends the title copy there, while the lessee supplies the Washington license, application, mileage, registration materials, and fees.
What to ask Ford Credit for
The exact document changes by destination and by retail versus lease treatment. Confirm the state path before requesting it.
