Phlegm Alley Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Quick question: I moved here from NY last year and just last week, I officially changed my address through the Post Office to my Philadelphia address. I have yet to go to a PA DMV to change my license from NYS to a PA license. I am also in the process of buying a new car and the person I am buying the car from says that without a Pennsylvania license, the car would end up getting registered in NYS. Does anyone know if I can still get the car registered in PA without having a PA driver's license, or would I have to get the car registered in NYS, get it inspected in NYS, then change the information over and re-register it once I get a PA license. Any information or experience had with a similar situation would be extremely helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 1 _______________ Wouldn't just be easier to go to the DMV and change your license? Take your coat off and stay a while. Does anyone know if I can still get the car registered in PA without having a PA driver's license, or would I have to get the car registered in NYS, get it inspected in NYS, then change the information over and re-register it once I get a PA license.

Phlegm Alley Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 That's what the plan is Simon, but I am due to purchase this vehicle tomorrow and I would be unable to get to a PennDOT tomorrow due to conflicts with work. I didn't know if proof of residency was sufficient enough to get a vehicle registered in the state where you had proof of residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Why would Pa care about residency to issue a registration? All they do is take a nice chunk of money and give you a worthless window sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
