Where the two processes meet
The lessor controls delivery. Rhode Island controls acceptance.
- 01Start with Rhode Island
Ask the lessor for the original title, power of attorney, and written permission for the Rhode Island transfer before the 30-day window starts running out.
- 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 customer must get the original title directly from the lessor. Rhode Island DMV states that it will not request the title from a leasing company or financial institution.
