Where is the car moving?

We will combine Alabama Credit Union's move path with the destination state's title rule. No VIN or account number is collected.

What the lender says

Start with Alabama Credit Union's process

The destination state still decides what document it can use and where it must go.

  1. 01Start here

    Ask the destination DMV to prepare a letter requesting Alabama Credit Union's unreleased title. The letter must tell Alabama Credit Union where the title should be sent for the new-state change.

  2. 02Use the approved channel

    Have the destination DMV fax its letter to Alabama Credit Union at 205-650-1012. Use Member Care at 888-817-2002 to confirm receipt, the delivery destination, and whether the DMV needs any additional lienholder details.

  3. 03Plan for the handoff

    Alabama Credit Union does not publish a state-change turnaround. Send the DMV letter before the destination deadline and track Alabama Credit Union receipt, title dispatch, and destination-office receipt as separate milestones.

NewState Drive is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Alabama Credit Union. Confirm instructions inside yourlender account before sending sensitive information.

Why both sides matter

A lender request is only useful if the new state can use it

Some states want an original title. Others accept a copy, lien letter, or registration-only path. Some require the local office to start the request. The builder checks the destination first.

Alabama Credit Union move questions

How do I contact Alabama Credit Union about an out-of-state title transfer?
Have the destination DMV fax its letter to Alabama Credit Union at 205-650-1012. Use Member Care at 888-817-2002 to confirm receipt, the delivery destination, and whether the DMV needs any additional lienholder details.
Will Alabama Credit Union register the car in the new state?
The destination motor vehicle agency controls registration. The lender or lessor handles the title or ownership document it holds. The two paths need to meet before the state can finish the transfer.
Can NewState Drive send the request for me?
Use the request notes and handoff checklist, then send the request through the lender's approved channel. You remain in control of every lender and agency submission.
Should I enter my VIN or account number here?
No. Add sensitive identifiers only inside the lender's own secure account, form, fax, mail, or other approved channel.
