Relocation Guide

The Unofficial DMV Guide has compiled all the information you'll need when you are moving out of your current state―as well as what you need to do once you get settled in your new state. By clicking around our pages, you'll find specific information that is helpful during a move so you can concentrate on the more important things like checking out the kids’ school, packing up the house, and shopping for a new home.

As you prepare to move from your home state to another state there are details to take care of through the DMV. In some states, the license plates stay with the car, so you have to know where and when you should send them back once you get your new ones. And in some states drivers can get extended vehicle registrations; if you still have several years left, it is likely that you will want to find out the possibility of a prorated refund on the time remaining.

Once you get moved in to your new home in your new state there will be some switching over of legal documents that will need to scheduled. You’ll need to know how long before you need to apply for a license, title and registration in your new state. And you’ll need to learn which state agency takes care of which task, what documentation you need to take with you, and how much it will cost once you get there.

Click around. You'll find all the information you need to comply with your state's regulations whether you’re are coming―or going.
