Request and track the Kia Finance America title packet to Texas
A new Texas resident can check registration purposes only on Form 130-U when the out-of-state title is not surrendered. Texas also has specific fields for the lessor as applicant and the lessee as renewal recipient.
Do not put the lessee in the lessor's applicant fields. Texas instructs leased applications to name and address the lessor in Boxes 16 and 18.

Where the two processes meet
The lessor controls delivery. Texas controls acceptance.
- 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.
- 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 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.
What to ask Kia Finance America for
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.
