Virginia
Practical checklists for local moves in Virginia and for interstate moves, which FMCSA regulates.
Virginia in-state movers are licensed by DMV. Moves over 30 miles need a Household Goods Carrier certificate. Shorter moves usually need Property Carrier authority. Look the company up before you book.
An interstate move to or from Virginia is a federal household-goods shipment. Look up the carrier's USDOT number, get a written estimate, and use FMCSA's consumer tools.
New Virginia residents have 60 days for a driver's license and 30 days to title and register. Get a safety inspection sticker before you drive, and buy insurance before you register.
Virginia generally caps a security deposit at two months' rent and gives landlords 45 days after you leave to return it or send an itemized list of deductions.
File a written claim if a Virginia mover loses or damages your goods, and ask about valuation options before the truck is loaded. Keep the bill of lading, photos, and inventory.
Get at least three written Virginia moving estimates, ask if each is binding, and, on moves over 30 miles, expect tariff-based charges and DMV's consumer booklet.
