Prepare to RelocateWhat to BringImportant DocumentsIf you plan to buy a car, you must have proof of insurance. Insurance rates are determined by your age, driving record, and type of vehicle. Bring a statement of your driving record, translated into English, if possible. Bring your current driver’s license as well. You can use this for up to 30 days upon your arrival in New Mexico before getting a NM Driver’s license, and it could save you from having to take a driving test. For other questions, please visit the NM tax online site. If you have children, remember to bring their vaccination and medical records, as well as birth certificates, and school records. These documents are necessary to register your child in school. Medicines and PrescriptionsPlease bring any medications and prescriptions that you need with you. Once you are here, you can go to the doctor’s office to renew your prescriptions. Please see the U.S. Customs link below to get information about bringing medications into the U.S. ClothingLos Alamos has four distinct seasons.
