Can I move my GM Financial lease to Texas?

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. A new Texas resident can check registration purposes only on Form 130-U when the out-of-state title is not surrendered. Texas also has specific fields for the lessor as applicant and the lessee as renewal recipient.

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.

What can I keep in the saved lessor handoff?

Keep the route-specific lessor worksheet, unsigned request cover sheet, destination packet, handoff milestones, and final proof checklist together.
