Published: July 01, 2022

If you’ve recently moved, you’ll need to notify the state of your new address and update your driver’s license and car registration information. Here are a few tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Oklahoma City on how to do that:

1. Gather your paperwork. When you go to the DMV, you’ll need to bring a number of papers with you. You’ll need your driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance proof, and evidence of residency in your new state.

2. Call your old DMV. If you’ve changed your name, you’ll need to notify the DMV so they can provide you with updated identification documents. When they are aware of your relocation, they will forward your papers to the new DMV.

3. Get a new driver’s license. You’ll need to get a new driver’s license from the DMV in your new state.

4. Register your car. You must notify the DMV if you change your address. A new license plate and registration sticker will be required.

5. Update your address on file. It’s also a good idea to double-check that your vehicle registration and driver’s license are up to date. You’ll be sure to get important DMV communications, such as renewal notifications if this is the case.
