When I moved here from the Midwest I kept my old insurance and drivers license for about 6 months. I am sure questions would have been asked if I had needed to actually file a claim.

I’d check the DMV website before heading to AAA. There are some things than can only be done in Craaaaanston. Also, if you are getting RI plates you will probably need a VIN check from your local police department. At least that was the rule years ago.

Yup I made the mistake of calling my insurance to change which card I was paying with and they asked my address. And then they were like uhhh if u don’t live in CT anymore, you can’t have CT insurance. I wish I didn’t say anything.

Same here I kept my NY license for a while but finally converted to RI so I could register the homestead credit for property taxes. Luckily that was like a week or two before the pandemic shut everything down. Also I think the license is only good for like 1 year then you have to renew it. Luckily that is just sending them money in the mail.
