Where Kia Finance America 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 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 Washington receipt separately. Keep the old-state record open until replacement proof is ready.

The office gives you the request pathThe Washington licensing office gives you the lender fax route

When the bank holds the title, Washington tells the customer to call a vehicle licensing office for its fax number so the bank can fax a title copy directly to that office.

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

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.
