Where is the car moving?

We will combine Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU)'s move path with the destination state's title rule. No VIN or account number is collected.

What the lender says

Start with Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU)'s process

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

  1. 01Start here

    Log in to DCU Digital Banking and open the secure Title Services request for the active vehicle loan. Ask for a temporary title release to accommodate registration after moving to another state.

  2. 02Use the approved channel

    Submit the request through Membership, then Title Services, in DCU Digital Banking. DCU treats the authenticated request like a signed written request. Call 800-328-8797 for an auto-loan or title-service question without putting account details in unsecure email.

  3. 03Plan for the handoff

    DCU does not publish a fixed state-change turnaround. Submit the secure request before the destination deadline and track DCU acceptance, title or document dispatch, destination receipt, and the replacement lien-recorded title separately.

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.

Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) move questions

How do I contact Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) about an out-of-state title transfer?
Submit the request through Membership, then Title Services, in DCU Digital Banking. DCU treats the authenticated request like a signed written request. Call 800-328-8797 for an auto-loan or title-service question without putting account details in unsecure email.
Will Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) 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.
