Request and track the GM Financial 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.
