There is a belief that when you surrender your driver’s license to obtain a Florida one that your previous one is cancelled. I found out that not to be true when I started receiving renewal notices for my previous one telling me they were going to cancel it if I didn’t pay it. Then there is the issue of voter registration. Our county elections office has the form needed to cancel your voters registration where one has previously voted.
As for the difference between residency and legal residence, they are different things. Just about any veteran should be able to explain what a legal residence means. I was always getting asked why I had NY plates on my car in Virginia and I would point out I am a Floridian which would really confuse them, especially when my insurance had my current address.
