Moving Out of State in Massachusetts

Keep Your Massachusetts Driver's License

Unless your new state requires you to hand over your old Massachusetts license once you apply for a new one, you can either hang onto it as a souvenir or destroy it.

However, before you make a decision, check out the Federal Trade Commission's information about identity theft.
