- State licensing: Before providing in-state household goods relocation services, Arkansas moving companies must be issued an Intrastate Authority Permit from the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. Make sure the moving company you use has a license before hiring.
- State regulator: You can verify a Arkansas moving license and its status through the state's public utilities commission.
- Moving permits: Arkansas does not require any moving permits, but it is helpful to check local parking restrictions before moving into the state.

For instance, if a 50-inch TV weighing 25 pounds is lost or damaged, the reimbursement would be $15 (60 cents x 25 pounds). To ensure full coverage of your items' value, explore alternative options with your moving company or consider third-party insurance providers.
