Transferring Out-of-State Licenses
Moving? Bring Your License With You!
If you move to a new state, you’ll need to transfer your driver’s license and vehicle registration.
What’s Required
- Surrender your old license
- Provide proof of new address
- Pass a vision test (sometimes a written test, too)
- Update your vehicle registration and insurance
Time Limits
Most states give you 30 to 60 days to make the switch after moving.
Why Transfer?
It keeps your information up-to-date and ensures you’re following the laws in your new home.
