Request and track the Kia Finance America title packet to Washington
Washington tells movers whose title is held by a bank to get the chosen vehicle licensing office's fax number and have the title holder fax a copy. The title application separately records the registered owner and legal owner or lienholder.
Washington requires the driver license before vehicle registration and gives new residents 30 days. A generic title copy sent to the wrong office does not complete the handoff.

Where the two processes meet
The lessor controls delivery. Washington controls acceptance.
- 01Start with Washington
Choose the Washington vehicle licensing office before contacting the lessor. Ask the office for its fax number and confirm how it wants the lessor shown as legal owner.
- 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 chooses a vehicle licensing office and gets its fax number. The lessor sends the title copy there, while the lessee supplies the Washington license, application, mileage, registration materials, and fees.
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.
