We present the formalism for consistently transforming transition operators within the in-medium similarity renormalization group framework. We implement the operator transformation in both the equations-of-motion and valence-space variants, and present first results for electromagnetic transitions and moments in medium-mass nuclei using consistently-evolved operators, including the induced two-body parts. These results are compared to experimental values, and--where possible--the results of no-core shell model calculations using the same input chiral interaction. We find good agreement between the equations-of-motion and valence space approaches. Magnetic dipole observables are generally in reasonable agreement with experiment, while the more collective electric quadrupole and octupole observables are significantly underpredicted, often by over an order of magnitude, indicating missing physics at the present level of truncation.
