Someone more in the know would need to confirm, but my understanding it's the responsibility of the lessor before its handed over to the airline. As for handover, I guess that would be up to to the lessor/airline. The jets that are coming back from the US were flown by Jet Test, for example, back to Australia and rego changed in Australia.
