One connected handoff

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 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 is the titled owner and is responsible for the title fee and sales and use tax at titling, though Virginia DMV says the leasing agreement may sometimes require the lessee to make these payments. 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.
