Can I move my Kia Finance America lease to Tennessee?

Ask the destination motor vehicle office for its instructions and any form it provides, then update the mailing, billing, and garaging address in the Kia Finance America account. Kia says an out-of-state move may also require a state-to-state title transfer. 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.

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.

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.

02Open the Kia Finance America request
Ask the destination motor vehicle office for its instructions and any form it provides, then update the mailing, billing, and garaging address in the Kia Finance America account. Kia says an out-of-state move may also require a state-to-state title transfer.
03Use the official channel
