Where GM Financial and Washington meet

The lender controls sending. Washington controls what it can use and where it must arrive.

  1. 01Start with Washington

    Choose the licensing office, get its current fax number and packet instructions, then give that exact recipient to the lender.

  2. 02Open the GM Financial request

    Make sure your monthly payments are up to date, because GM Financial says it cannot complete a new registration if you are past due. Then contact the destination registration office, which will advise you whether the process goes through GM Financial or directly through the office.

  3. 03Use the official channel

    If the registration office tells you to work with GM Financial, complete GM's Relocation Request Form and mail it to GM Financial, ATTN: Out-of-State Registration Department, P.O. Box 1510, Cockeysville, MD 21030. GM Financial uses a third party that may contact you if anything is missing from your request. If the office handles the process directly, GM says no further steps are needed between you and GM Financial. To reach GM Financial, message it in MyAccount or the GM Financial Mobile app, or call 1-800-284-2271. Its FAQ says Arizona, New York, and West Virginia require the lienholder's permission to re-register. If you need that permission, contact GM Financial for approval.

  4. 04Track state receipt

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