    Checklist for Moving in Maryland

    Moving to a new state involves a lot of work, even after you’ve taken care of all the packing, cleaning, lifting, moving companies, rental agreements, mortgages, jobs, and so on. (the list continues – yes, it’s lengthy!)

    After you’ve taken care of the fun stuff, there are a few more things you’ll want to make sure you check off your list when relocating to Maryland.

    We’ve broken them down for you below. The following items are on the checklist:

    You are updating your address.
    Obtaining a Maryland driver’s license.
    Getting your car registered.
    Obtaining a new Maryland auto insurance policy.
    Voter registration.
    Purchasing health insurance.
    Obtaining any additional insurance policies that you may require.
    Managing your financial details – banks, loans, investments, and so on.
    Enrolling your child in his or her new school district
    Getting ready for Maryland taxes.
    Obtaining a pet license and locating a local veterinarian.
    Configure your utilities.
    It may appear to be a lot. But that’s one of the reasons we created Relocalate.com – to make the process of moving much easier.

    You’ll find specific details, tips, and links to make each of those tasks a breeze down below.

    Transferring a Driver’s License from Another State to Maryland

    When you relocate to Maryland, you must apply for a driver’s license within 60 days of your arrival.

    To do so, go to your local driver’s license office and do the following:

    Fill out an application for a new driver’s license in Maryland.
    Provide proof of your identity and citizenship/legal presence (typically, your VALID driver’s license from your previous state).
    Provide proof of your Maryland address and residency. This usually consists of two documents, such as lease agreements or mortgage statements.
    Account statements
    Bills for utilities.
    Pay stubs
    Pass an eye examination.
    Pass the written driver’s license exam.
    Take a new photograph.
    Make payment for the application fees.

    In most cases, you will not be required to take the driving test.
