Yes, if you have moved to Pennsylvania from New York then you should change over both your driver's license and car's registration to PA.
According to the Pennsylvania Driver and Vehicle Services, all new residents with out-of-state non-commercial driver’s licenses must obtain a PA driver’s license within 60 days of establishing Pennsylvania residency.
You will be required to surrender your out-of-state driver’s license (valid or expired six months or less) before PennDOT can issue you a PA Driver's License. You will need to take a vision-screening test and complete the necessary forms, which are available at our Driver License Centers.
A knowledge test is not required for new residents with out-of-state driver's licenses which are valid or expired six months or less. A previous resident returning to Pennsylvania must meet all the same identification and residency requirements as a customer who has never been a PA resident.
Also new residents of PA are required, according to PennDOT, to make application for Pennsylvania title and registration of their vehicle(s) within 20 days of establishing residency in Pennsylvania.
Individuals are required to have a valid form of Pennsylvania identification in order to make application to title and register a vehicle in Pennsylvania. Although new residents have 60 days to obtain a Pennsylvania driver's license, there is nothing to prevent them from obtaining their Pennsylvania driver's license sooner so that the registration on a car can be changed over within the required time period.
