Car Registration and Driver's License When Moving Out of Georgia

If you're relocating from Georgia, it is important to handle your car registration and driver's license appropriately to comply with state and federal requirements. This guide provides a summary of the necessary steps.

1. Car Registration

A. Registering Your Vehicle in the New State

• Timeframe: Most states require you to register your vehicle within 30 to 90 days of establishing residency.
• Requirements: To register your car in your new state, you will typically need:
  • Your current Georgia vehicle registration or title.
  • Proof of ownership (e.g., title or lease agreement).
  • Proof of auto insurance valid in your new state.
  • Payment for applicable fees and taxes.

B. Georgia License Plates

• Plate Surrender: Georgia does not typically require you to return your license plates. You may keep or dispose of them according to the new state's rules.
• If you are unsure, contact the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) or Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) for clarification.

2. Driver's License

A. Surrendering Your Georgia Driver's License

• When you apply for a driver's license in your new state, you will need to surrender your Georgia driver's license.
• Your Georgia license will be invalidated upon receiving your new license.

B. Timeframe to Apply for a New License

Most states require you to obtain a driver's license within 30 to 60 days of establishing residency.

C. Documents Required for a New License

• Proof of identity (e.g., passport, birth certificate).
• Social Security number or Social Security card.
• Proof of residency in the new state (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement).
• Your current Georgia driver's license.

3. Additional Considerations

A. Auto Insurance Updates

Ensure your auto insurance complies with the requirements of your new state. Once the new policy is active, you can cancel your Georgia insurance policy.

B. Refund for Unused Registration

Georgia does not typically offer refunds for unused registration. Contact the Georgia MVD for more information if needed.

C. Taxes and Fees

Be prepared to pay property taxes, registration fees, and other charges that may differ from Georgia's rates in your new state.

D. Emissions and Safety Inspections

Some states have specific emissions or safety inspection requirements. Check the standards before registering your vehicle in the new state.

Summary

When moving out of Georgia, make sure to register your vehicle and obtain a new driver's license in your new state. Handle your Georgia plates, registration, and insurance appropriately to comply with regulations and avoid penalties.

  • Your out-of-state title (or lienholder information if the car is financed).
  • A completed Application for Title and Registration.
  • A VIN inspection for vehicles coming from out of state.
  • A DEQ emissions certificate, if you live in an emissions-testing area.
  • Payment for title and registration fees.

Shipping a car to or from Portland, OR

Portland sits right on I-5, the main road carriers use between California, Oregon and Washington, with I-84 heading east toward Boise and Salt Lake City. That means steady truck traffic in both directions and good availability year-round.

Older neighborhoods are where it gets tricky. In much of inner Portland the streets are narrow, lined with parked cars and big street trees, and a full-size carrier can’t get down them. Drivers usually suggest meeting on a wider street or in a store parking lot close by. Downtown and the Pearl District are similar, so most people meet the truck a few blocks away.

From November through spring it rains a lot, so expect your car to arrive with road spray on it after an open-trailer trip. Dirt can hide small scratches, so take your time on the delivery inspection with the driver, and use a flashlight if it’s getting dark. If you’re moving across the river to Vancouver, WA, that’s a short extra hop for most carriers already on I-5.
