Fifth Third Auto: 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 Fifth Third Auto's move path with the destination state's title rule. No VIN or account number is collected.
Start with Fifth Third Auto's process
The destination state still decides what document it can use and where it must go.
- 01Start here
Update the Fifth Third account address and ask the destination motor vehicle office whether it requires the original paper title to update the title and registration.
- 02Use the approved channel
If the original is required, Fifth Third says the motor vehicle office request must be on its letterhead. Send that request through the published Out of State Transfers mail or fax route.
- 03Plan for the handoff
Fifth Third says an electronic title that must convert to paper can take the motor vehicle office 30 days or longer. Start before the destination registration deadline.
NewState Drive is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Fifth Third Auto. 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.
Fifth Third Auto move questions
- How do I contact Fifth Third Auto about an out-of-state title transfer?
- If the original is required, Fifth Third says the motor vehicle office request must be on its letterhead. Send that request through the published Out of State Transfers mail or fax route.
- Will Fifth Third Auto 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.
