Yes, most state laws require that when you move and take up residence in a new state that you transfer over your registration, title and insurance for your vehicle to the new state and also exchange your driver's license from your previous state for one from the state you moved to.
Many states have a time period in which you must change over your license, title and registration, the normal amount of time being 30 to 60 days. If you do not change over your car registration, license, etc during the time period given then you may be cited for driving without registration or without license.

The garaging location of the vehicle is important to an insurance company and once you move into a new state they will normally advise you to get insurance now from that state, especially since state financial responsibility laws / insurance laws differ from state to state.
