Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Rhode Island controls acceptance.

01Start with Rhode Island
Ask the lessor for the original title, power of attorney, and written permission for the Rhode Island transfer before the 30-day window starts running out.
02Open the Volkswagen Financial Services request
Update the primary and garaging address in Volkswagen Financial Services My Account, then open a secure message for the interstate title and registration move.
03Use the official channel
Log in to My Account, open Message Center, and send the move request through the secure message channel. Volkswagen says it will help get the vehicle registered and titled.
04Confirm usable receipt
The customer must get the original title directly from the lessor. Rhode Island DMV states that it will not request the title from a leasing company or financial institution.
