Do moving violations transfer from state to state?
I just moved from Georgia to New York and I have a ton of speeding tickets. I’m hoping that moving states will fix this but I feel like that’s wishful thinking. When you move to a new state, do your moving violations transfer?

Enjoy living in New York! Violations (and points) typically move with a driver after they move states.
Most states have an agreement to share driving convictions. This ensures that a dangerous driver doesn’t move to their state and, in the process, avoids dealing with their moving violations. The states that don’t share this information are
Massachusetts
, Michigan
, Georgia
, Tennessee
, and Wisconsin
.Here are some moving tips that all drivers relocating to a new state should know:
- You’ll have to change your driver’s license and car registration.
- Change your documents within the time limit of your new state. This varies per state.
To change your driver’s license, you’ll need to go to your local DMV, present the required documents, and pay the fee, which is usually between $30-$60.
While the documents you need depend on the specific state requirements, you will typically need to present the following:
- Your driver’s license from your old state
- ID (birth certificate or passport)
- Proof of social security number
- Proof of your new residency (lease agreement, etc…)
While it’s not required by any state, moving is the ideal time to review your
car insurance costs
