Published: May 01, 2022

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

1. Gather your paperwork. When you go to the DMV, you’ll be required to submit a variety of documents. 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 haven’t changed your name, you’ll need to contact the previous DMV and state your case. When they are informed that you have moved, they will transfer 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. If you relocate to a new state, you’ll have to declare your automobile with the DMV. You’ll also need a new license plate and registration sticker.

5. Update your address on file. Make sure to update your address on your car registration and driver’s license. This will ensure that you receive important mail from the DMV, such as renewal notices.
