Before you make your big move, there are several things you\u2019re going to want to do.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re planning your move to the Myrtle Beach area from out-of-state and wish to establish a permanent residence, you\u2019re going to need to apply for a South Carolina driver license. You have 90 days to do so.<\/li>\n<li>Those moving to South Carolina from out-of-state and owning any vehicles must also register those vehicles with the state. You have 45 days to transfer your out-of-state vehicle registration to South Carolina.<\/li>\n<li>About a month before your move, you\u2019ll want to contact your utility companies and set an \u2018end date.\u2019 Similarly, you\u2019ll want to reach out to utility companies serving your new home and set a \u2018start date.\u2019 Contact information for several utility companies in the Myrtle Beach area can be found below.<\/li>\n<li>If you have school-aged children, you\u2019ll also want to get copies of school transcripts and contact the new Horry County school where your children will be students. There may be additional paperwork to be filled out, too, so be sure and contact the school district office prior to your move.<\/li>\n<li>Once you\u2019re here and settled in, you\u2019ll also want to apply for your South Carolina voter registration. It\u2019s easy to make that happen on the South Carolina State Election Commission website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More information, including detailed contact information, on each of these moving \u2018to-do\u2019 items can be found below:<\/p>\n<h4>Obtaining a South Carolina Driver\u2019s License<\/h4>\n<p>According to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV), if you come into South Carolina from another state and establish a permanent residence, you must apply for a South Carolina driver license. If you have a valid driver\u2019s license issued by the state from which you moved, you can use it for 90 days, after which time you must surrender it and obtain a South Carolina driver license. Depending on the class license you hold, you must complete a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\/DMVNew\/forms\/447-nc.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 447-NC<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\/DMVNew\/forms\/447-cdl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 447-CDL<\/a>, Application for South Carolina Credential.<\/p>\n<p>If your name has changed since birth, you must provide all legal documents (adoption records, marriage certificate, certificate of naturalization, court ordered name change) supporting all name changes from birth to present.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about documents you will need to get a S.C. license, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.scdmvonline.com<\/a>. If your driver&#8217;s license from your home state has expired more than nine months, you must also pass the knowledge and road tests. To schedule a road test, you should call the DMV office where you would like to take the skills test.<\/p>\n<h4>Registering Your Vehicle with the State of South Carolina<\/h4>\n<p>If you plan on establishing permanent residence in the Myrtle Beach area, you must also transfer your out-of-state vehicle registration to South Carolina within 45 days. According to the SCDMV, you may apply for the title and registration by mail. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\/DMVNew\/forms\/400.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 400, Application for Certificate of Title\/Registratio<\/a>n, which must be completed, contains the proper mailing address for the department.<\/p>\n<p>The first time you register your vehicle in South Carolina, you must provide the name of your insurance company. SCDMV will verify your coverage electronically. If you are a new resident in South Carolina and have an automobile policy with a national insurance company, be sure to change your address with your insurance company before you register your vehicle in South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>In order to register your vehicle with the state of South Carolina, you will need to show: 1) your out-of-state vehicle title and registration; 2) liability insurance information; 3) completed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\/DMVNew\/forms\/400.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 400, Application for Certificate of Title\/Registration<\/a>; and 4) your paid vehicle property tax receipt from your new county showing you\u2019ve paid all vehicle property taxes required.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on vehicle registration, including titles and fees, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.scdmvonline.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Contacting Your New Myrtle Beach Area Utility Companies<\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to contact all your new utility companies prior to making your move in order to set a \u2018start date\u2019 for necessary services.
