About this term

Driver's license updates are typically required 30-60 days after relocation. Requirements vary by state. Transfers require proof of residency, identification, and passing tests (some states). Out-of-state licenses remain valid temporarily but updates are mandatory.

Pro Tip

Update driver's license promptly. Expired licenses complicate traffic stops and identification situations.

Example

Moving to a new state requires updating driver's license within 45 days; costs $25-$75 depending on state fees
