Both WI and FL require you to get your license within 30 days of establishing residency. FL requires two forms for proof of residency. I don’t see how you could get a FL license with a WI address or maintain a FL license while officially a resident of WI.

FL may automatically register you to vote in FL when you get a FL license.

I never filed anything to declare my domicile in FL. I never heard of such a thing until I read it on these boards. I could prove my residence by my DL, address on my bills, and if need be, by credit card receipts for groceries and gasoline. As it turned out, MD didn’t try to hold onto me anyway.
My wife has a Florida License and Votes in Florida. She has s home at Maryland but doesn’t declare Homestead. If you have questions go to the proper source and ask your County Tax assessor. They will explain the 183 day rule also. Too many explanations on this forum. Great place to live.
