Does driving history transfer from state to state?
I’m moving from Texas to Oklahoma for a new job, and I’m pretty excited about it. Finding a place has been easy, and I already have a friend or two. My only issue is with my car insurance. I had a few tickets in Texas, but my car insurance hasn’t renewed yet. I know I need to switch my insurance to an Oklahoma policy as well. But will my driving history transfer from state to state?

Congrats on the new job! Sounds like the pieces are falling into place. Regarding your
car insurance
, driving history transfers from state to state, as both Texas and Oklahoma
are part of the Driver License Compact.The Driver License Compact is an association of 45 states and the District of Columbia that share every driver’s history. If you move between these states, your driving history will always follow you.
However, five states aren’t in the Driver License Compact, so they don’t share the driving record of their citizens. These states include:
- Georgia
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Tennessee
- Wisconsin
Your driving history may not always transfer with you from state to state, but expensive car insurance policies sure can. To curb hefty premiums and find affordable insurance rates, hop on the
