Idaho

When moving from Massachusetts to Idaho, you must register your vehicle within 90 days of establishing residency. You must also transfer your driver's license within 90 days. Plan to visit the Idaho DMV promptly after your move.

Registering your vehicle in Idaho costs $45-$69 based on age. Title transfer fee is $14 (title transfer is required). Vehicle sales/use tax is 6%. Budget for these costs before your move.

Idaho requires emissions testing: Ada and Canyon counties. No recurring safety inspection is required. Check if your specific county requires testing.

Idaho requires minimum liability insurance of 25/50/15 (bodily injury per person / per accident / property damage, in thousands). Your current Massachusetts minimums are 20/40/5. You must update your insurance to meet Idaho requirements before registering.

Idaho requires both front and rear plates (Massachusetts requires front and rear). Surrender out-of-state plates; new ID plates issued. You will need to surrender your Massachusetts plates and obtain new Idaho plates.
