Residency

This is kind of a weird question, but what exactly determines your state residency? Is it the state where you have a driver's license? Some other document?

Here's my issue:

My parents live in Georgia, which is what I consider my permanent address, however I have been living in Central Florida for the past year doing an internship. My car insurance, health insurance, etc. is all calculated on my permanent address (GA) but I need to get a driver's license with my new married name so it will match my ss card.

Unfortunately, getting a new GA drivers license requires going home, because it has to be done in person. I don't mind doing this, but if I could just get a FL driver's license, it would be much, much easier. I don't want to screw up all my insurance though - would getting a FL driver's license officially make me a FL resident? I'm just not sure what constitutes your "residency" - does anyone else know?

Thanks in advance!

 

Re: Residency

  • When we moved here last month and got our DL from the DMV, they took our CA DL and didn't give them back.  I believe your residency is based on your DL, but I"m not sure.  If you want GA as your perm address, I would take a trip back home to get it.  Just to be safe.  I'm no expert though....so hopefully someone else knows for sure.
  • Yes, DL determines your residency.? What does your car registration say? ?That's when I had to get new insurance, when I got a new car and wanted to pay FL taxes because it was cheaper. ?

  • I'm from Ga too and just went through this last week. I went to get my Fl driver license. we also transfered the title on my car, and everything required that I have Florida insurance. so, yeah, by getting a Fl license, you'd become an "official" resident.?
