Here’s the part that feels like a prank: some states require you to update your address with the DMV within 10 days of moving. If you wait three months like I did, you might get a late fee that’s more embarrassing than a parking ticket from a Zumba class. So don’t be me.
Also, watch out for the “dual update” trap. You change your car registration address, but forget to update your driver’s license. Now you have a registration that says Boston and a license that says Springfield. It’s like wearing one cowboy boot and one flip-flop to a wedding—technically it works, but everyone judges you.
