What the lender says

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

The destination state controls registration and still decides what document it can use and where it must go. The lender handles the title it holds, and the two paths need to meet before the state can finish the transfer.

  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.

NewState Drive is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU). Confirm instructions inside your lender account before sending sensitive information.

After you build the request notes and handoff checklist below, send the request through the lender's approved channel. You remain in control of every lender and agency submission. Optional paid help prepares the request and destination packet and handles general follow-up, and you still handle account sign-in, authorization, signatures, payments, inspections, and in-person visits.

Where is the car moving?

Some states want an original title, others accept a copy, lien letter, or registration-only path, and some require the local office to start the request. 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.

Every step above stays free.
