For folks eyeing a move to the Volunteer State, take note: starting January 10, 2025, transferring your driver’s license to Tennessee is getting a tweak if you’re coming from certain states. New and returning residents hailing from California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Nevada, Oklahoma, Vermont, or West Virginia will be required to bring along a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) from their previous state when they apply for a Tennessee driver license, according to an announcement by the Department of Safety & Homeland Security.
