How do I start the Kia Finance America title request?

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. Kia Finance America does not publish one nationwide transfer time on this page. Start before the destination deadline, and lease customers should also check whether the move changes the monthly tax amount.

What can I keep in the saved lessor handoff?

Keep the route-specific lessor worksheet, unsigned request cover sheet, destination packet, handoff milestones, and final proof checklist together.

Request and track the Kia Finance America title packet to Tennessee

Tennessee lists a Leased Vehicle Owner's Authorization to Lessee for a long-term lease. The state separately warns that an ordinary power of attorney does not replace that form unless it contains the required authorization language.

Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Tennessee controls acceptance.

01Start with Tennessee
Send the Tennessee lessor-authorization form to the leasing company and ask for its tax number, title document, and any separate power of attorney needed for signatures.
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 lessor stays on the title and supplies its authorization, ownership document, and Tennessee tax number when required. The lessee is named on the registration and takes the packet to the county clerk.
