Where Chrysler Capital and Michigan meet
The lender controls sending. Michigan controls what it can use and where it must arrive.
- 01Start with Michigan
Bring the current registration or listed title evidence and Michigan insurance to a Secretary of State office, then confirm the foreign-ownership record before chasing an original title.
- 02Open the Chrysler Capital request
Ask the destination motor vehicle office what it needs. The chryslercapital.com website now redirects to Santander Consumer USA, so use Santander's Titles page for the state-change request.
- 03Use the official channel
Contact the State Titling Division for a formal request, then send that request to Santander by mail (Santander, Titles Department, 1601 Elm St., Dallas, TX 75201) or by fax (214-237-3549). Santander Consumer USA lists 800-526-0157 for titles, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT. That is Santander's number, not a confirmed Chrysler Capital lease line, and Santander's Titles page describes no separate lease process, so lessees should confirm lease steps with Santander.
- 04Track state receipt
Record lender sending and Michigan receipt separately. Keep the old-state record open until replacement proof is ready.
When an out-of-state lienholder keeps the title, Michigan accepts a current registration or specified title evidence and issues a Foreign Ownership-Registration Only record instead of a Michigan title.
State first step: Bring the current registration or listed title evidence and Michigan insurance to a Secretary of State office, then confirm the foreign-ownership record before chasing an original title.
Chrysler Capital timing: Santander's Titles page says printing an electronic title averages four to six weeks, and the new state should then receive the title within fifteen business days after Santander gets the printed title. It gives no lease-specific time, so start before the destination deadline and record the request date.

Chrysler Capital to Michigan title questions

- Bring the current registration or listed title evidence and Michigan insurance to a Secretary of State office, then confirm the foreign-ownership record before chasing an original title. Then follow Chrysler Capital's current channel: Contact the State Titling Division for a formal request, then send that request to Santander by mail (Santander, Titles Department, 1601 Elm St., Dallas, TX 75201) or by fax (214-237-3549).

- What should I ask Chrysler Capital to send?
- When an out-of-state lienholder keeps the title, Michigan accepts a current registration or specified title evidence and issues a Foreign Ownership-Registration Only record instead of a Michigan title. Confirm the exact document, state recipient, fee, handling time, and evidence of sending before the request leaves.
- How long can the Chrysler Capital handoff take?
- Santander's Titles page says printing an electronic title averages four to six weeks, and the new state should then receive the title within fifteen business days after Santander gets the printed title.

- What if Chrysler Capital says it sent the title but Michigan cannot find it?
- Ask Chrysler Capital what title document was sent, the send date, exact recipient, and available delivery evidence. Then ask the Michigan office whether it received and associated that document with the transaction. Sending, delivery, and agency acknowledgement are separate milestones.
- What can I keep in the saved lender handoff?
- Keep the route-specific request worksheet, unsigned cover sheet, follow-up scripts, recipient and document checks, handoff milestones, and final proof checklist together.
