Published: August 01, 2022

If you relocate, you’ll have to notify the state of your new address and change your driver’s license and car registration details. Here are a few tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Orange County on how to do that:

1. Gather your paperwork. When you visit the DMV, you’ll need to bring various documents with you. You’ll need your driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance proof, and residency documentation 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 issue updated identification cards. They will send your documents to the new DMV once they know about your relocation.

3. Get a new driver’s license. You’ll need 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 car registration and driver’s license are up to date. If this is the case, you’ll be sure to receive important DMV notifications, such as renewal notifications.
