What to do with Arkansas plates after moving to North Dakota

Complete the replacement record

Submit the North Dakota title and registration application with the out-of-state ownership document and proof of legal name. The current motor-vehicle guidance does not publish one general new-resident day-count deadline.

Maintain North Dakota's required motor-vehicle liability coverage before operating the vehicle and keep proof available through the transition.

Update the Arkansas registration mailing address

After the destination registration is active, use Arkansas DFA's Change Your Renewal Address service to update the mailing address on the vehicle registration. Save the confirmation with the new registration so later Arkansas notices do not disappear at the old address.
