Topic overview

Once you have a Virginia driver's license, a handful of ongoing administrative duties keep it valid and keep your vehicle legal. Your new license arrives by mail rather than being issued on the spot, and you must notify DMV within 30 days any time you move, since the postal service will not forward it to a new address.

New residents face their own deadlines: you must obtain a Virginia driver's license within 60 days of moving here, and title, register, and get Virginia license plates for your vehicle within 30 days of moving. Missing these windows can leave you driving on an invalid out-of-state credential without realizing it.

Two ongoing vehicle obligations round out this chapter: your vehicle must pass an annual safety inspection, and you must maintain liability insurance (or pay the uninsured motor vehicle fee, which does not actually provide coverage). Letting insurance lapse without returning your license plates can lead to a suspension. This chapter also covers optional choices you make on the license application, like registering to vote or signing up as an organ donor.

How long do I have to notify DMV after I move?

You must notify DMV of your new address within 30 days of moving. The postal service will not forward your license, so an outdated address means you may never receive it.

If I just moved to Virginia, how soon must I get a Virginia license and register my vehicle?

You must get a Virginia driver's license within 60 days of becoming a resident, and title, register, and get Virginia plates for your vehicle within 30 days of moving.

What happens if I don't have liability insurance for my vehicle?

You must either carry liability insurance or pay the uninsured motor vehicle fee, which lets you register the vehicle but does not provide coverage. Driving without either can lead to your driving privilege being suspended.
