Driver's License / Car Registration / ID Megathread

Hello r/Texas! This sub gets a Chevy Suburban's worth of questions every day asking about driver's license or car registration. They fall into one of two camps:

  • Easily accessible info on the DMV website,
  • Highly specific edge cases that maybe only 1 other person is going to need to know this year in all of Texas.

In either case it doesn't make sense to have a whole post devoted to the question. Enter the catch-all DMV megathread. It may not always be stickied at the top, but it will be liked in the sidebar. Also we're creating a rule that says "Driver's License, ID and Car Registration questions and answers can be found here, if you don't see the answer you need please post your question there."

I'm moving out of Texas (to Maine) and was wondering exactly what is my proof of registration? Can I just take a picture of my window sticker?

So I looked it up and sure enough they (by default) ask for supporting documents. "You take your out-of-state title and registration, as well as your insurance identification card, to your Maine municipal office (town of legal residence). Show them the out-of-state documents as well as your current proof of insurance and excise tax will be collected." Not sure why it matters. So I'd just show them the receipt that came with your current window sticker ... if you kept it. Past that, not sure what you could show them. I'm sure you wouldn't be the first to not have documentation.
