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.

Scientific Facts About Washington, D.C.

• Horse Statue Law: If a statue of a horse has both front legs in the air - the rider died in battle. If one leg is raised - the rider was wounded. If all four legs are on the ground, the person survived... or the horse just felt like standing normally.
• Traffic Circles of Doom: Washington, D.C. has so many traffic circles that even GPS gets confused. If you make it out of Dupont Circle in one try, you deserve a medal.
• The Snow Day Paradox: D.C. shuts down over an inch of snow, but government workers will still be required to send emails from home.
• No One is Actually From Here: Ask someone in D.C. where they're from, and you'll probably get an answer like, "Originally? Ohio."
• Metro Escalators = The Gym: Some of D.C.'s Metro stations have escalators so long, they feel like an extreme sport. Good luck if they're out of service!
• Tourists vs. Locals: You can always spot a tourist-they're the ones standing on the left side of the Metro escalator (a serious D.C. crime) or wearing an FBI t-shirt from a gift shop.
• It's Not a State (Yet?): D.C. residents love reminding you that they pay taxes but have no voting representation in Congress. They even put it on their license plates.
• Cherry Blossom Madness: Every spring, D.C. becomes a pink paradise-but also a traffic nightmare, as everyone flocks to the Tidal Basin for the perfect Instagram photo.
• Political Overload: In most cities, small talk is about the weather. In D.C., it's about congressional hearings, policy debates, and which politician was spotted at Whole Foods.
