Published: June 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 vehicle registration information. Here are a few tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Omaha on how to do that:

1. Gather your paperwork. You’ll need to provide a variety of documents when you go to the DMV. You’ll need your driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance proof, and documentation of residency in your new state.

2. Call your old DMV. If you have altered your name, you’ll need to contact the DMV and explain your situation. When they are notified that you have relocated, they will forward your documents 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 move to a new state, you’ll need to notify the DMV of your vehicle. A new license plate and registration sticker will also be necessary.

5. Update your address on file. It’s also a good idea to make sure your address is up to date on your vehicle registration and driver’s license. This will guarantee that you receive important DMV correspondence, such as renewal notifications.
