Once you've updated your Connecticut DMV records ( see above), you can either request an address label to stick to your driver's license or ID card, or pay for a replacement card.

  • Your local police department.
    OR
  • The Connecticut DMV at (800) 842-8222 for in state but outside of Hartford or (860) 263-5700 for in Hartford or out of state.

If you're moving from Connecticut to another state, you'll need to return your license plates to the CT DMV before you leave. This ensures you don't continue to be charged CT property taxes for your vehicle after you move.

New Connecticut Residents

Transfer Your Out-of-State Driver's License

Once you've moved to Connecticut, remember to transfer your out-of-state driver's license within 90 days of becoming a resident. You will need to visit your local CT DMV office in person and:

  • Present the required documents.
  • Provide your out-of-state driver's license.
  • Pass a vision exam.
  • Pay the application fee of $40.
  • Pay the $84 driver's license fee.

Register Your Out-of-State Car

The Connecticut DMV gives you 60 days to register your out-of-state vehicle in the state. You will need to have your vehicle pass an emissions test and have the vehicle identification number (VIN) verified first.

Once you've completed these two tasks, you'll need to visit your local Connecticut DMV office in person with various documents and payment for the registration fee.
