37. Intrastate vs. Interstate Moves in Georgia: What's the Difference?

When you start planning a move, one of the first questions that actually matters — even if you haven't thought to ask it yet — is whether your move is intrastate or interstate. It sounds like legal jargon, but the distinction has real consequences for who can legally move you, how your belongings are protected, and which agency has oversight if something goes wrong.

An intrastate move stays entirely within one state. If you're moving from Atlanta to Savannah, Marietta to Alpharetta, or Decatur to Duluth, that's intrastate. Everything — the truck, the crew, the start, and the destination — remains inside Georgia.

An interstate move crosses at least one state line. Atlanta to Charlotte, Roswell to Nashville, Augusta to Columbia — the moment your belongings leave Georgia's borders, your move is interstate, and an entirely different regulatory framework kicks in.
