hello everyone! im going to be moving from california to connecticut by the end of may. i’ve already signed a lease for my new apartment and have a couple jobs lined up.
i will be bringing my car with me from ca, i have some questions about registering my vehicle, getting new tags, new insurance, & license.
i know ct is one of the states with 183 day rule. but if im already going to be living and working as soon as i moved, will i be able to become a resident right away? if so does that mean as soon as i move in on June 1st, I have 30 days to get my new ct license & 60 days to register my car?
if anyone has any resources or recommendations that would be GREATLY appreciated. this is my first time moving out of state as a ca native! :-) thank you!

Hey 👋🏻 did the move from LA in October to CT. They aren’t strict here. There’s a lot of out of state plates I have noticed. I wanted to get mine done right away. So it was finalized at the end of November. DMV is all appointment based just a heads up. Take a picture of your CA license for memories since they take it from you at the DMV appointment. You are going to be shocked how much cheaper car insurance is here. Insane. Shop around def still.
You will need to get your car smog inspected prior to the registration. Let me if you know need anything. I can help out with anything! Congrats on the move.
