The Idaho Department of Transportation (IDT), Vehicle Services handles car registration and titles.
A couple of interesting points. The Drivers License, Re-Titling, and Registration all need to be done within 90-days.
This is important if you have a loan on your car; because, you can't change the title on your own. If you have a loan (a lien holder) you need to contact the bank that holds the loan and title, and ask them to start the Out Of State Transfer (OOST) processing. They may ask you for paperwork. This could take 30-60 days if they have to order a title to be sent to your new state.
You should really start the process of all three of these the first or second week you are in the state, it could take 90-days to sort it all out.
