I think you'll have no problem with the transfer. I've transferred twice now. Once from Franklin to Albany. Second time from Albany to Rensselaer, which is still being processed. It's kind of hokey the way they do it though. You have to fill out an amendment form in your current/previous county. On it, there is a check box for a transfer and a space for your new address. You give the county clerk (Suffolk in your case) the form and two checks for $5 each (true stuff here - I couldn't make this up!) Once check made out to the Suffolk County Clerk and the second to your new county clerk, Clinton I'm assuming. Obviously, you have to have moved already and have proof of your new residence. I believe the legal requirements say that you need to initiate your transfer within 10 days, but that isn't strictly enforced. I think I was almost 20 days over this last time. The Suffolk county clerk will then send all your records along with the check for the Clinton county clerk, to Clinton county. Once that reaches it's destination, the Clinton county clerk will either call you or send you a letter stating that you have to come in to hand in your current permit and pick up your new one. Not difficult, just a pain in the a$$!
