Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Texas controls acceptance.

  1. 01Start with Texas

    Ask the county tax office whether to check registration purposes only, then send the lessor the exact Form 130-U applicant fields and any signature request.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 04Confirm usable receipt

    The lessor remains the titled applicant on Form 130-U, while the lessee receives renewal notices. The county tax office confirms whether the existing title stays out of state or a Texas title is needed.
