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.

Examples

  • Getting a new license after moving from Texas to California.

  • Registering your car with your new state’s DMV.
