Connecticut

Registering your vehicle in Connecticut costs $120 (biennial). Title transfer fee is $25 (title transfer is required). Vehicle sales/use tax is 6.35%. Budget for these costs before your move.

Connecticut requires emissions testing: Statewide biennial. No recurring safety inspection is required. Check if your specific county requires testing.

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

Connecticut requires both front and rear plates (Tennessee requires rear only). Surrender out-of-state plates; new CT plates issued. You will need to surrender your Tennessee plates and obtain new Connecticut plates.
