Hey 👋🏻 did the move from LA in October to CT. They aren’t strict here. There’s a lot of out of state plates I have noticed. I wanted to get mine done right away. So it was finalized at the end of November. DMV is all appointment based just a heads up. Take a picture of your CA license for memories since they take it from you at the DMV appointment. You are going to be shocked how much cheaper car insurance is here. Insane. Shop around def still.

You will need to get your car smog inspected prior to the registration. Let me if you know need anything. I can help out with anything! Congrats on the move.

I wouldn’t worry about that. We see out of state plates all the time. Hell, the Staties are barely cracking down on people who dodge taxes by registering their cars in ME, while thier primary residence is still in CT.

Obligatory welcome to CT, I hope your move goes smoothly :)

Edit: spelling

Everything I've read seems to indicate if there is a business, or businesses, in the complex along with residential units, it's considered commercial. But if no businesses in the complex, it is residential. I'm just looking for some official place that may list the condos in CT and if they are residential or commercial.

Check out TriWire Engineering in Newtown. I did not have a record myself, but my boss there was pretty understanding about people who had past convictions. (i cannot say for certain it is still the case, this was in 2009ish)

well im not sure if you know how much rent is over here but it’s insane, all of the good job opportunities in my field within CA are based either in the Bay Area or LA. I would be working just to pay rent and in my opinion neither of those areas are worth working to paycheck to paycheck for. in CT i can live comfortably and still afford to save money for the future and travel like I want to. I love california, but the real estate market has become too expensive for myself and other natives.

You actually have 90 days after you move to transfer both your license and your registration. You'll need to gather some documents and make an appointment at a full service DMV, but you can do both at the same time.

Here's the info you need about transferring your license: https://portal.ct.gov/dmv/licenses-permits-ids/transfer-out-of-state-license?language=en_US

Here's the info for transferring your vehicle registration: https://portal.ct.gov/dmv/vehicle-services/transfer-registration-ct?language=en_US

I don't think they are real strict with the 30 and 60 days rule. I just moved here in August and it took forever to get appointments at the DMV and when I went the first time I couldn't get either done due to paperwork issues. I think it was about 3 months when I got everything sorted out. Just make sure you have all your documents and it's a pretty easy process.
