| Oklahoma | Vehicle registration | New Oklahoma residents have 30 days to title and register their vehicle with the Oklahoma Tax Commission / Service Oklahoma after establishing residency. |
| Colorado | Driver's license | New Colorado residents must get a Colorado driver's license within 30 days of establishing residency. |
