Where Kia Finance America and Texas meet

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

  1. 01Start with Texas

    Confirm registration-purposes-only eligibility with the destination county tax office before asking the lender to move the original title.

  2. 02Open the Kia Finance America request

    Ask the destination motor vehicle office for its instructions and any form it provides, then update the mailing, billing, and garaging address in the Kia Finance America account. Kia says an out-of-state move may also require a state-to-state title transfer.

  3. 03Use the official channel

    If the destination office needs documents from Kia Finance America, fax your written request or the office's form to (714) 368-7844, or mail it to Kia Finance America, Attn: Titles Department, 6100 W. Plano Pkwy., Ste 2000, Plano, TX 75093. Include your Kia account number, the VIN, a callback number for you, the state you are moving from, your new address, the office's name, address and phone number, and a list of the documents it needs (which may include the title, a letter of permission or a limited power of attorney). For questions about your account, Kia Finance America customer service is 866-331-5632 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern).

  4. 04Track state receipt

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

A title substitute may workTexas permits registration-purposes-only treatment in some cases

Texas lists the out-of-state title or registration receipt with Form 130-U and permits registration-purposes-only treatment in some title situations.

State first step: Confirm registration-purposes-only eligibility with the destination county tax office before asking the lender to move the original title.

Kia Finance America timing: Kia says it sends the documents within 10 business days of receiving your request when the new office does not need the original title, when you hold the title, or when the title is paper. It ships by three-day shipping and gives tracking numbers on request. For an electronic title, Kia asks your original state to print the title and mail it to Kia, and says it will send that request within three business days of receiving yours. Kia then mails the paper title to the new office within 10 business days after it receives it. How long the state takes is up to the state, and Kia gives no estimate for that step in this answer. A separate Kia notice says state DMV processing is currently ranging from 45 to 180 days for requests that include state transfers and printing titles.

Kia Finance America to Texas title questions

How does a Kia Finance America title transfer to Texas start?
Confirm registration-purposes-only eligibility with the destination county tax office before asking the lender to move the original title. Then follow Kia Finance America's current channel: If the destination office needs documents from Kia Finance America, fax your written request or the office's form to (714) 368-7844, or mail it to Kia Finance America, Attn: Titles Department, 6100 W. Plano Pkwy., Ste 2000, Plano, TX 75093. Include your Kia account number, the VIN, a callback number for you, the state you are moving from, your new address, the office's name, address and phone number, and a list of the documents it needs (which may include the title, a letter of permission or a limited power of attorney). For questions about your account, Kia Finance America customer service is 866-331-5632 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern).
What should I ask Kia Finance America to send?
Texas lists the out-of-state title or registration receipt with Form 130-U and permits registration-purposes-only treatment in some title situations. Confirm the exact document, state recipient, fee, handling time, and evidence of sending before the request leaves.
How long can the Kia Finance America handoff take?
Kia says it sends the documents within 10 business days of receiving your request when the new office does not need the original title, when you hold the title, or when the title is paper. It ships by three-day shipping and gives tracking numbers on request. For an electronic title, Kia asks your original state to print the title and mail it to Kia, and says it will send that request within three business days of receiving yours.

A separate Kia notice says state DMV processing is currently ranging from 45 to 180 days for requests that include state transfers and printing titles. Confirm the current estimate with both Kia Finance America and the intended Texas office.
What if Kia Finance America says it sent the title but Texas cannot find it?
Ask Kia Finance America what title document was sent, the send date, exact recipient, and available delivery evidence. Then ask the Texas office whether it received and associated that document with the transaction. Sending, delivery, and agency acknowledgement are separate milestones.
