Congratulations on deciding to move to Delaware! Nicknamed “The First State,” Delaware is actually the second-smallest state in the nation (after Rhode Island). Nevertheless, Delaware’s population density is among the highest in the country which indicates that you’re one of many who have had good sense to move to this wonderful state. To help you get the groove on your move, I’ve compiled a brief Delaware moving guide that can help you navigate the technicalities of moving to a new state. It’s never too early to get started!
Choosing Delaware Movers
Whether you’re moving in a week or a year, it’s never too early to reserve your Delaware movers. If you’re not moving quite yet you’ll feel relieved to cross this task off your moving checklist. Interview at least three Delaware movers so that you can compare prices and services. Make sure to ask each moving company if they are available around the time of your move. Don’t hide any special services that you might need including shuttle service, use of an elevator or excessive stairs. If you have extra large appliances that may need to be disassembled you should also mention it at this time. Ask about packing fees, and make sure to get price quotes for the packing service and the necessary materials. Once you’ve completed a thorough interview (in person) with each Delaware moving company you should have a good idea of which Delaware movers are ideal for you. Don’t wait to reserve your movers, as they may get booked for the time you need to move!
Obtaining a Delaware Driver’s License
Upon moving to Delaware you’ll be required to transfer your current driver’s license to a Delaware license within 60 days. You will be required to surrender your-out-of state license and to pass a vision test. The written and practical portions of the licensing exam will likely be waived. Upon applying for a Delaware driver’s license, males aged 18-25 must also register for the Selective Service. If you wish to apply for a motorcycle license please be aware that the New Castle licensing bureau does not offer this exam.
