Request and track the Kia Finance America title packet to Illinois

Where it goes

Fax (714) 368-7844 or mail the Plano, TX Titles Department.

Sent within 10 business days

The new office needs no original title, you hold the title, or the title is paper.

Electronic title

Kia asks your original state to print the title and mail it to Kia, and sends that request within three business days of receiving yours. Kia then mails the title within 10 business days after it arrives. Kia gives no estimate for the state's step.

Separate DMV notice

Kia's notice: state DMV processing is currently ranging from 45 to 180 days for requests including state transfers and printing titles.

1. 01Start with Illinois

   Ask the lessor whether it already filed Form RUT-25-LSE or paid the Illinois tax on the lease. Then confirm the lessor's exact name and title-delivery method, and build the VSD-190 packet with the lease and current out-of-state registration.

2. 02Open the Kia Finance America request

   Ask the destination motor vehicle office for its instructions and any form it provides, then update the mailing, billing, and garaging address in the Kia Finance America account. Kia says an out-of-state move may also require a state-to-state title transfer.

3. 03Use the official channel

   If the destination office needs documents from Kia Finance America, fax your written request or the office's form to (714) 368-7844, or mail it to Kia Finance America, Attn: Titles Department, 6100 W. Plano Pkwy., Ste 2000, Plano, TX 75093. Include your Kia account number, the VIN, a callback number for you, the state you are moving from, your new address, the office's name, address and phone number, and a list of the documents it needs (which may include the title, a letter of permission or a limited power of attorney). For questions about your account, Kia Finance America customer service is 866-331-5632 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern).

4. 04Confirm usable receipt

   The lessor supplies the ownership document and the exact owner information for Form VSD-190. The lessor files Form RUT-25-LSE when it bought the vehicle from an out-of-state retailer not registered with the Illinois Department of Revenue, and the lessee files it if the leasing company does not. For a lessee who used the vehicle outside Illinois first, the Form RUT-25-LSE instructions subject the selling price to a reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior out-of-state use. The lessee provides the lease, old registration, Illinois address, mileage, insurance, and any inspection proof.

Kia Finance America lease move questions

Can I move my Kia Finance America lease to Illinois?

Ask the destination motor vehicle office for its instructions and any form it provides, then update the mailing, billing, and garaging address in the Kia Finance America account. Kia says an out-of-state move may also require a state-to-state title transfer. Illinois publishes an extra document set for a leased vehicle: the lease purchase agreement, out-of-state registration, out-of-state title, and the title application materials.

How do I start the Kia Finance America title request?

If the destination office needs documents from Kia Finance America, fax your written request or the office's form to (714) 368-7844, or mail it to Kia Finance America, Attn: Titles Department, 6100 W. Plano Pkwy., Ste 2000, Plano, TX 75093. Include your Kia account number, the VIN, a callback number for you, the state you are moving from, your new address, the office's name, address and phone number, and a list of the documents it needs (which may include the title, a letter of permission or a limited power of attorney). For questions about your account, Kia Finance America customer service is 866-331-5632 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern). Kia says it sends the documents within 10 business days of receiving your request when the new office does not need the original title, when you hold the title, or when the title is paper. It ships by three-day shipping and gives tracking numbers on request. For an electronic title, Kia asks your original state to print the title and mail it to Kia, and says it will send that request within three business days of receiving yours. Kia then mails the paper title to the new office within 10 business days after it receives it. How long the state takes is up to the state, and Kia gives no estimate for that step in this answer. A separate Kia notice says state DMV processing is currently ranging from 45 to 180 days for requests that include state transfers and printing titles.
