Questions & Answers
I have an Arkansas Driver License and need to get a TENN driver license. I am close to Vanderbilt. Where do I go and what do I need to bring with me.

You need 2 forms of Identification & your Arkansas state identification. Ask for transfer states. I did this 15 years ago. For update information ask the Howard office. I believe that is the main branch for that area.

How much to transfer an active out of state license to a Tennessee licence?

Jaemy M | Oct 8, 2018
I don't think TN allows free transfers. You need to pay for a new one with government issued ID and proof of address.

What do i need to get my license plate?
Geo_ Lopez | Oct 8, 2019
Erving Ortiz | Oct 8, 2019
To get a Tennessee license plate for a car, by law, you must title and register the car in this state. New residents and those relocating to the state can obtain a vehicle title from their local county clerk’s office after emissions testing (if it is required by the county).
Obtaining a vehicle title requires the following:
proof of identification and proof of residency
passed emissions certificate (if applicable);
most current out-of-state registration; and
either the name and address of lienholder to whom you are making payments OR, in the event of no lienholder, your out-of-state title.
A list of acceptable proofs of identification and residency can be found here. Read this for more information about the types of license plates Tennessee has available.
If it's from one person to another person, the original registered owner will have to sign the Title over to the New owner, depending on what State the car is titled in, it may have to be Notarized. Tennessee does not require Notarization on TN titles. There's also a fee of $11, I think.
☆DON'T GO ON THE LAST DAY OR THE FIRST OF THE MONTH☆
I would just take the Title to the State (DMV) and get them to help you. They're all super friendly & helpful.
My car is registered in NY, but inspection expired. My daughter has my car in Nashville. Is there anything j need to do for TN law?
Edward Kosinski | Oct 8, 2019
Angie | Oct 8, 2019
Is your daughter going to keep your car in Nashville permanently? If so, she'll need to get a new Tennessee license plate. And she'll have to take your car to an emissions testing center. I'm a title clerk for a local car dealership, I can probably answer any questions you might have Mr. Kosinski 🖒🙂

I just renewed license plate/registration at end of April, 2019, then sold that car in June. I am not purchasing a replacement car on which to put the current license plate. Is there any refund for the unused months?
If you now are a TN resident you have 30 days to obtain your TN driver license.,
No, you don't need a test.
Your lease contract is enough to prove you are TN resident.
You will need:
SSN card
Resident card (green card) if you are not American Citizen
Prove of residence in TN( your lease agreement)
