Shipping my Car from California

• Notify the California DMV

  • Complete a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (NRL) online or via mail. This ensures you are no longer held liable for the vehicle's registration fees or any incidents involving the car after you leave California.
  • 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.
