But what happens when you become the out-of-state license plate due to a permanent move? What are your legal obligations? In Texas, you have 30 days to change your registration and 90 days to change your license. However, these timelines may vary in other states. Regardless of the state, there are certain steps you&#8217;ll need to follow.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to Take When Moving to a New State<\/h2>\n<p>You cannot have more than one policy for a single car. Therefore, you have to end the old policy to get a new one. Once you&#8217;ve determined your grace period, secure a new car insurance policy before time runs out. You might not need to change insurance companies if they cover your new state. Remember, each state has its own minimum coverage requirements. You can apply for a new license once you&#8217;ve got your new policy. This will require filling out an application form and paying a fee. Next, it&#8217;s time to register your car in the new state, which you can probably do at the same time and place you applied for a new license. You&#8217;ll need your license, proof of insurance, and vehicle title. Then you&#8217;re all set!<\/p>\n<h2>Rickey McGill Insurance Agency: Serving Arlington, TX<\/h2>\n<p>We at Rickey McGill Insurance Agency wish you all the best when you move to another state.
