Find alternate transportation. Because it's illegal to drive with a suspended license, take precautions before moving to secure the help of a friend or family so you won't have to drive. If nobody is available to drive for you, try taking public transportation, such as a bus or train, and hiring a moving company to take your possessions to the new location.
Report your change of address to the DMV in the new area, either through phone or by visiting the physical location (see Resources). Most states require you to report your change of address to the Department of Motor Vehicles in the local area soon after moving.
Acquire a photo ID from the DMV in the area. If you're moving to a new state for the long term, and you'll be paying the state taxes, you should acquire a photo ID for that state. This will prove that you're a citizen of the state, as well as allow you to pay utility bills, satisfy requirements for going to a state college and check out books from the library. To get a photo ID, you'll need to visit the local DMV with a Social Security card, another form of ID such as your old driver's license, and money for the processing fee. Requirements for IDs, forms and money may vary from area to area, so call the local DMV for specific instructions on what to bring.
Satisfy requirements for removing the suspension on the license in the previous area. You'll need to meet the court requirements for the specific charges so that the suspension can be removed. Contact the courthouse in the county that issued you the charges to learn how to remove the suspension.
