As you transition to your new home, essential steps need to be taken for everything to run smoothly. Notifying the state of your current address is a must, as well as obtaining an updated driver’s license and registering your car with the relevant authorities. Here are a few tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of York on how to do that.

1. Gather your paperwork. Don’t forget to pack your driver’s license, vehicle registration paperwork, valid insurance details, and proof of residency before heading out for the DMV.

2. Call your old DMV. Upon receiving your notification of a name change, the DMV will expedite new identification cards and send related paperwork to the relevant bodies.

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. It is critical that you update the DMV with your new address information. As a result, you’ll be issued updated license plates and registration stickers.

5. Update your address on file. To ensure you are up-to-date with your DMV obligations, be sure to double-check that the registration for your car and license is valid.
