Legally 30 days after ANY move but there's no reason you can't get away with it until either your license or tag expires.

Only to get caught is if he were to be pulled over or came into a roadblock. But 30 days is correct. But no sense in waiting. If you do it within that 30 days, it's free. Later, QD.Originally Posted by speedminded

Nothing to get caught on, his dues are paid until they expire...but of course those dues are for the use of Canadian roads, not down here. If he does get pulled over then dispatch will run the plate and license and as long as neither comes up with warrants or being expired then there is no issues at all. He'll probably be asked what he is doing down here and all he needs to say is he's down here visiting or on business, not a big deal. It's no differant than if he had two houses and was at the other one.
The cost for registering isn't going to be any differant if he does it now or 6 months from now, he'll go to the DMV and get a Georgia license then to the tag office to get a plate. It's not like it's a new car with a new title & bill of sale, it does have existing registration that is up to date...and there is nothing in writing say when he moved. May have to show a utility payment for proof of address or something but that could be a year old or whatever as long as it has his name on it and the address he wants on it.
I have no issues with someone driving on our roads as long as everything is up to date. It's not like he's saving money in the long run anyways, just saving it upfront unless he has two birthdays between now and whenever he does register the car in Georgia.

Except my VISA that customs has on file for me when I crossed the border. I'm going to be working here for a year so I had to get a TN.
ah, that's true...but that shouldn't come up on a driving record. Best thing to do is going ahead and get a licence and become part of our system
I was only mentioning the going ahead and changing license now because it is free if you do so within the 30 day limit. Later, QD.

Yeah but what i am saying there is no way anyone knows what day he moved here, he can say yesterday or 29 days ago...there's nothing he needs to show them that states when he made the move. Any utility payment or bill will do for the new address then show them his Canadian license for an ID. He could have moved here six months ago and tell them it was yesterday and nobody will know any differant.
I've never moved here from out of the country so I don't know how that works, but I would assume that there are "papers" that you need to have when moving in the US. I'm pretty sure the police will know he is from Canada when they see his current tag and license, though. Later, QD.
