Moving a financed car to Mississippi? Start with the state title path.
Mississippi accepts the current registration or duplicate-title evidence when a lender or lessor keeps the title, then holds the application while requesting the ownership document. Renewal remains blocked until the title arrives.

What to do before the lender sends anything
The document and destination recipient need to match. Sending the right title to the wrong place can still stop the move.
- 01Start with Mississippi
Start the application with the county tax collector, confirm what request is sent to the lender, and track delivery before the next registration renewal.
- 02Confirm the lender's document
Ask what it will release, its fee and handling time, and whether it sends to you or directly to the office.
- 03Keep the proof trail
Save the request, send confirmation, delivery record, agency receipt, and final registration proof in that order.
