Getting connected is your first step to getting settled. We’ve got everything listed that you need to know to get your family connected to utilities and cable. As a new resident, you’ll need to get your driver’s license and tags within 30 days. We’ve also got tips for local landscapes and pest control.

Driver’s License

New Alabama residents must obtain a driver’s license within 30 days of entering the state. Driver’s licenses are available from the driver’s license examiner’s office listed below. If you do not have a valid out-of-state license, you are required to take a written exam, road test and eye exam. The cost of a new license/renewal for Alabama state residents is $25. If you have a valid out-of-state driver’s license, you are only required to take the eye exam. The cost for the out-of-state transfer fee is $28 cash.
(NOTE: These requirements are for a regular Class D license only.)

You must bring:
• Current Driver’s License
• Social Security Card (name should match that of the Driver’s License)
• State-issued Birth Certificate or Passport
• If your name has changed, bring marriage certificate or divorce decree.
• Under 18, school enrollment documents
