Can I move my Tesla Finance lease to Michigan?

Notify Tesla Finance of the new registration and billing address so it can begin the re-registration and title process when required. Confirm first that Tesla Finance, rather than a third-party lessor, is named on the lease. 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.

How do I start the Tesla Finance lease title request?

Use the Financing section of the Tesla app for the direct lease and contact Tesla Finance through the support path published on the lease page. A third-party Tesla lessor must use that lessor's own instructions instead. Tesla does not publish one nationwide re-registration turnaround. Start before the destination deadline and track address notice, required documents, destination filing, and new registration as separate milestones.

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.

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 Tesla Finance lease request
Notify Tesla Finance of the new registration and billing address so it can begin the re-registration and title process when required. Confirm first that Tesla Finance, rather than a third-party lessor, is named on the lease.
03Use the official channel
Use the Financing section of the Tesla app for the direct lease and contact Tesla Finance through the support path published on the lease page. A third-party Tesla lessor must use that lessor's own instructions instead.
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.
