Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Maryland controls acceptance.

01Start with Maryland
Complete Maryland's title and registration pre-application, then use the appointment instructions to confirm the lessor recipient and ownership document before asking the lessor to act.
02Open the Kia Finance America request
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.
03Use the official channel
Ask the destination motor vehicle office what it requires, then use the Payoffs and Titles area or the Kia Finance America account to start the state-to-state transfer process.
04Confirm usable receipt
The lessee completes the pre-application and brings the lessor details to the appointment. The lessor supplies the ownership response, while the lessee completes Maryland insurance, safety inspection, registration, and tax-credit proof.
