Where Credit Acceptance and Wisconsin meet
The lender controls sending. Wisconsin controls what it can use and where it must arrive.
- 01Start with Wisconsin
Use the current registration for the registration-only path and track the lender-held title separately until Wisconsin can finish the title record.
- 02Open the Credit Acceptance request
Contact the new state's motor vehicle department. Credit Acceptance says that if the department needs the original title, get a request form or letter on the department's letterhead that includes the office's address and phone number.
- 03Use the official channel
Send the department's request to Credit Acceptance's Title Department by fax at 866-436-4890 or by mail to Credit Acceptance Corporation, Attn: Title Department, 25505 West 12 Mile Rd., Southfield, MI 48034. In Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, and New York the customer already receives the title from the state.

Record lender sending and Wisconsin receipt separately. Keep the old-state record open until replacement proof is ready.
