Can I move my Mercedes-Benz Financial Services lease to Michigan?

Confirm the destination state's leased-vehicle packet, then give Mercedes-Benz Financial Services your new billing and garaging address. It says it will provide the documentation for registration in your new state. Michigan accepts a current registration or several forms of title proof when the ownership document stays out of state. It then issues Foreign Ownership - Registration Only and leaves the out-of-state title in place.

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.

Michigan timingImmediately after becoming a Michigan resident

The out-of-state registration must be current or expired less than 90 days unless another accepted title record is supplied. Michigan does not issue a new title on this path.

One connected handoff

Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Michigan controls acceptance.

01Start with Michigan
Ask a Secretary of State branch which listed ownership proof it will use, then request that exact record from the lessor instead of automatically asking for the original title.
02Open the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services request
Confirm the destination state's leased-vehicle packet, then give Mercedes-Benz Financial Services your new billing and garaging address. It says it will provide the documentation for registration in your new state.
03Use the official channel
Update your address while logged in at mbfs.com (Update Personal Info) or in the My MBFS app. You can also call the Client Service Center at 1.800.654.6222, or include your new address on the Invoice Remittance form when you send your monthly payment.
04Confirm usable receipt
The lessor or its title service supplies a title copy, memo title, validated application, official vehicle record, or qualifying electronic title record. The lessee takes that proof, the registration, and Michigan no-fault insurance to a branch.
