CarMax Auto Finance: move your financed car to another state
Start with the lender's current instructions. Then match them to the new state and build the request before the title moves.
Official lender instructions are linked below. State title rules are added after you choose your route.
Where is the car moving?
We will combine CarMax Auto Finance's move path with the destination state's title rule. No VIN or account number is collected.
Start with CarMax Auto Finance's process
The destination state still decides what document it can use and where it must go.
- 01Start here
Ask the destination motor vehicle office to prepare a letter or proper form for CARMAX BUSINESS SERVICES LLC that shows the change in residence.
- 02Use the approved channel
Have the destination office use the fax or mailing address in CarMax Auto Finance's current Titles and Registration FAQ. Update the account address too.
- 03Plan for the handoff
CarMax Auto Finance says processing time can vary and asks customers to allow 30 to 60 days for the new-state registration request.
NewState Drive is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CarMax Auto Finance. Confirm instructions inside yourlender account before sending sensitive information.
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.
Keep the lender request and receipt together
Add the two states to keep the request, lender send status, destination receipt, and final proof together.
Keep your place and return later
Track your progress, dates, title requests, and receipts to keep. We will email a private return link.
CarMax Auto Finance move questions
- How do I contact CarMax Auto Finance about an out-of-state title transfer?
- Have the destination office use the fax or mailing address in CarMax Auto Finance's current Titles and Registration FAQ. Update the account address too.
- Will CarMax Auto Finance 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.
