Request and track the GM Financial title packet to Tennessee
Tennessee lists a Leased Vehicle Owner's Authorization to Lessee for a long-term lease. The state separately warns that an ordinary power of attorney does not replace that form unless it contains the required authorization language.
Do not assume a generic power of attorney is enough. Tennessee says it is not a substitute for the lessor-authorization form unless it includes that form's language.

Where the two processes meet
The lessor controls delivery. Tennessee controls acceptance.
- 01Start with Tennessee
Send the Tennessee lessor-authorization form to the leasing company and ask for its tax number, title document, and any separate power of attorney needed for signatures.
- 02Open the GM Financial request
Use GM Financial's out-of-state registration instructions and compare them with the destination office's current requirements.
- 03Use the official channel
GM Financial directs movers to its out-of-state registration form. It publishes a separate relocation request for Arizona, New York, and West Virginia when lienholder permission is required.
- 04Confirm usable receipt
The lessor stays on the title and supplies its authorization, ownership document, and Tennessee tax number when required. The lessee is named on the registration and takes the packet to the county clerk.
What to ask GM Financial for
Update the account address and start before the destination deadline. Extra signatures or a power of attorney may be required for some lease cases.
