Request and track the GM Financial title packet to Virginia
Virginia titles a leased vehicle in the lessor's name. If the lessee is not on the title record, Virginia says the lessee may handle titling and registration with a power of attorney from the lessor.
Virginia says leased vehicles may not appear in the lessee's online DMV record, so keep the registration and authorization copies together.

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 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 remains responsible for the title and related fees. 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.
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.
Lessor power of attorney when the lessee is not on the title record
Virginia title and registration materials for a new resident
Proof retained outside the online DMV record when the leased vehicle does not appear there
