Question

If you get your driver's permit in other state, do you have to retake the test when you move?

Answer 1

It entirely depends upon which states. Some states will allow you to use a permit from anywhere, some you can transfer your permit over, and some you will have to start from the beginning. Some states have pacts with other states, even other countries, to all a full transfer between those states. Any changes that may need to be made usually need to take place within a year of a change in residence. You will have to check with the state that you are moving to. Their driving manual or DMV/RMV website should give you the specific details.
