Virginia timingPower of attorney before a lessee signs for the lessor

Virginia says leased vehicles may not appear in the lessee's online DMV record, so keep the registration and authorization copies together.

Timing check

This is where the move can get tight.

Genesis Finance publishes timing that can reach 42 days. Virginia lists a 30-day vehicle window. Start before the move when possible. If the clock has started, ask the agency about a temporary or alternate title path.

Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Virginia controls acceptance.

01Start with Virginia
Check whether the lessee appears on Virginia's title record. If not, ask the lessor for a power of attorney that covers both title and registration paperwork.
02Open the Genesis Finance request
Ask the destination motor vehicle office for its requirements, then update every applicable address in the Genesis Finance account before opening a state-to-state title transfer.
03Use the official channel
Log in to Genesis Finance, open Title Services, and choose State Title Transfer. Genesis says submitting online also gives you its Title Tracker. You can mail the request instead to Genesis Finance, Attn: Titles Department, 6100 W. Plano Pkwy., Ste 2000, Plano, TX 75093. For questions about your account, Genesis Finance customer service is 844-363-7477 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern).
04Confirm usable receipt
The lessor is the titled owner and is responsible for the title fee and sales and use tax at titling, though Virginia DMV says the leasing agreement may sometimes require the lessee to make these payments. The lessor's power of attorney gives the named lessee authority to handle the vehicle paperwork when the lessee is not on the title record.
