  • The NRL form can be completed on the California DMV website.

• Register Your Vehicle in the New State

  Once you move, you’ll need to register your vehicle in your new state and obtain new license plates. The exact process and timeline vary by state, but most require you to complete registration within 30-90 days of establishing residency.

• Keep or Dispose of Your California Plates

  • If the new state requires you to surrender your old plates when registering your vehicle, you can hand them over at the new state's DMV.
  • If not, you can keep your California plates as a souvenir.

Car Registration and Driver's License When Moving to Texas

If you are moving to Texas, you will need to register your vehicle and get a Texas driver's license soon after you arrive. Below are the steps to follow.

1. Car Registration

A. Registering Your Vehicle

• Timeframe: New residents must register their vehicle in Texas within 30 days of moving to the state.
• Requirements: At your county tax assessor-collector's office you will typically need:
  • Your out-of-state title (or the lienholder's information if the car is financed).
  • A completed Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U).
  • Proof of Texas auto insurance.
  • A passed vehicle inspection, if required for your vehicle and county.
  • Payment for title, registration and new-resident fees.
• Emissions Testing: Emissions testing applies in the larger metro counties, including the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and El Paso areas. Check the Texas DMV for the current inspection rules for your county.

Shipping a car to or from Austin, TX

Austin keeps growing, and a lot of people arrive with a car on a truck behind them - new hires at the tech campuses up north, UT students every August, families moving from California. Carriers come through the city all the time on I-35 and US-290, so finding a truck is rarely the hard part.

Getting the truck to your door can be. A full car carrier is about 75 feet long, and a lot of Austin apartment complexes, West Campus streets and newer subdivisions with tight cul-de-sacs simply can’t fit one. In that case the driver will call ahead and ask to meet nearby - a grocery store or big-box parking lot off a main road works well and only takes a few minutes.

Try to avoid scheduling pickup during rush hour on I-35 if you can; drivers plan around it too. And in the summer, when afternoons stay above 100°F for weeks, leave your car with a sunshade in and no loose electronics on the dash.
