Can I move my GM Financial lease to Minnesota?

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. Minnesota asks a moving lessee for a lessor-signed lessee designation form and title-registration application. If the lessor provides power of attorney, the lessee may sign those forms on its behalf.

How do I start the GM Financial title request?

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. GM Financial says to allow up to 10 business days for the title to be sent to your registration office, so confirm the destination deadline separately. GM also says that changing your state registration near the end of your agreement may cause delays when releasing your title.

A registration card or marked title copy can support registration, but Minnesota says it issues a new title only when the current out-of-state title is submitted.

Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Minnesota controls acceptance.

01Start with Minnesota
Ask the lessor whether it will sign the Minnesota forms directly or issue power of attorney, then confirm which ownership record the deputy registrar will accept.
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.
