Published: May 01, 2022

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

1. Gather your paperwork. When you visit the DMV, you’ll need to bring several papers with you. These include your driver’s license, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and proof of residency in your new home state.

2. Call your old DMV. If you haven’t changed your last name, you’ll need to contact the previous DMV and explain your situation. They will move your records to the new DMV once they are notified that you have moved.

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 move to a new state, you’ll have to register your car with the DMV there. 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.
