Request and track the GM Financial 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 GM Financial request
Use GM Financial's out-of-state registration instructions and compare them with the destination office's current requirements.
- 03Use the official channel
GM Financial directs movers to its out-of-state registration form. It publishes a separate relocation request for Arizona, New York, and West Virginia when lienholder permission is required.
- 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 GM Financial for
Update the account address and start before the destination deadline. Extra signatures or a power of attorney may be required for some lease cases.
