Welcome to Texas! Now that you have moved, it's time to handle moving your auto, driver's license, auto title and auto insurance to Texas. It is helpful for you to handle these tasks in the order that follows. Obtaining Texas auto insurance is the first step because you have to show proof that your auto insurance meets Texas' minimum limits for each of the other steps.

 

With either a U.S. or Canadian driver's license, we can provide a competitive auto insurance quote.   

 

Without a U.S. or Canadian driver's license, we can still help, but call us --- (512) 444-3366 --- so that we can discuss what is needed.

 

You must have Proof of Insurance (see step 1). You may go to any of the state inspection locations (most auto lube or auto garages). You must have a Texas vehicle inspection prior to transferring your auto title. Be sure to get the "Identification Certificate" from the inspector. This is proof of your auto's ID number.

STEP 3: AUTO TITLE TRANSFER

1. Out-of-State title or current registration with lienholder 
       information (if any).
2. Proof of Insurance (see step 1)
3. Vehicle "Identification Certificate" (see step 2)
4. Social Security Card
5. Government Issued Photo ID (like your driver's license)

Next, go to your County Tax Office:

1. Proof of Insurance (see step 1)
2. Social Security Card*
3. Proof of Identity* - several possible combinations: 
      A. Birth Certificate and current U.S. driver's license; 
      B. Either your Birth Certificate or U.S. Driver's License plus two 
          supporting documents (i.e., expired Driver's License, Vehicle Title, 
          Military ID, etc.)
4. Vehicle Registration receipts on all owned vehicles (see step 3)
5. Eyeware, if required for vision check
