Request and track a Genesis Finance title to Michigan
When an out-of-state lienholder keeps the title, Michigan accepts a current registration or specified title evidence and issues a Foreign Ownership-Registration Only record instead of a Michigan title.
Both official paths rechecked 2026-08-02.
Genesis Finance publishes timing that can reach 42 days. Michigan requires vehicle action when residency begins. Start before the move when possible. If the clock has started, ask the agency about a temporary or alternate title path.
