The state rules behind the ledger
- Destination title and registration
- Title and register the vehicle through the county assessor's motor vehicle office within 30 days after moving to Idaho.
- Destination tax and fees
- Fees and taxes depend on the vehicle type, age, purchase price, and county; confirm the amount with the county assessor before the visit.
- Inspection or VIN
- Bring the vehicle to the county transaction because a county employee will inspect its vehicle identification number.
- Old-state recovery
- Mississippi says the registration credit cannot be used after an out-of-state move and does not issue a move-out refund.
