Moving to RI...Will it suck changing over my vehicle info??

[wheresmy50]

I moved to RI a few years ago (before I moved back to PA). Yes, changing the stuff over sucks.

If you vehicle is still being paid for, you'll need a copy of the title. You'll also need to bribe a cop to read your VIN and give you a permission slip to register your vehicle. They only accept said bribes for about 2 hours a day, so plan on a vacation day. Since you're coming from a state that taxes your car as property, at least you won''t have that nice little surprise.

Definitely get your ducks in a row before even thinking about going to the DMV. All the requirements are on the internet.

My advice would be EXACTLY the same as the above as my experience was exactly the same. Prepare to take time out of work. I laughed at someone when they told me it might be a 3 day process, but, they were right.

Double check on the AAA thing, I thought that was only for renewals. Unless it's recent it is, because I gave it a try last year when I moved from MA to RI and ended up standing in line like everyone else at the DMV.
