How to become a resident
There is NO rule saying you have to be a resident 6 months and 1 day!
As long as you do not rent out your home all year then you are good to go.
You need to register your car, get a Fla drivers license and voters card. That can all be done on Hwy 441 across from Walmart behind the McDonalds. One stop for all 3. Be prepared though the cost is steep. I paid $466 for my registration and license initially. However, you are then a resident.
You do however need to bring your car title (or paper from finance company)
your current drivers license, and birth certificate and an electric bill. If you are divorced and have a different name then on your birth certificate you need your divorce papers. Also a social security card (or a W2) will be accepted.
I just did this Feb 2013 so the info is current.
