Perhaps this may vary by state, but in the states I'm familiar with, you canNOT have your driver's license from one state and have your care registered in another state--such is a violation of motor vehicle code and you can be ticketed for it.

I've never heard of that requirement. You can get a drivers license even if you don't own a car. Or, you can register a car even if you don't have a drivers license. And, if you have a drivers license, you can drive cars owned by a rental car company, or by someone who lives in another state.

This is so false.

No DL necessary in most states. I had an out of state DL and registered a car in Florida.

Precisely correct. Wherever the car is kept is where it is supposed to be titled, licensed, and insured.

Registered and insured in state that auto is garaged.

Yes. We have cars registered in NY that never travel to FL, and cars in FL that never go to NY, although they could do so legally. ( we fly, once we purchased a FL home, hate that I95 ride!) You can only have one driver’s license, however. We still have NY licenses, but were able to register car in FL, showing proof of a residence in FL. GEICO insures all of them, but as someone else said, separate policies.

I just moved here as primary state and got FL driver license. But I have one car mainly here snd I registered it here and got FL insurance. My other car is mainly in Virginia, where I moved from. I kept it registered and insured in Virginia.

Yes... we are residents of Florida and have one car that we use in Florida...registered and insured in Florida. We have several vehicles at our home in KY that are registered and insured in KY. We have Florida driver's license.

[Vernon Hud]

I had one here, and one in MN, and had to register in each state, did this for 12 years.

I do wonder why you would ask here. The police have or used to have a question and answer presentation once a month at the Savanna center. You could stop at the police dept and get something in writing.

As far as I know it is illegal to have two registrations on the same car or two different state licenses-driving licenses. People used to carry two licenses. You would put the tickets on one state and get a clean record insurance against your license that you don't use for tickets. Today, their computers will surely catch you.

Why would want autos registered in 2 states?
