I transfered my Ohio car to Florida. You don't need a florida license just a Florida address.

The tl;dr of all the posts following the OP, is:

it doesn't matter if it's 30 days or 6 months or 4 months or whatever. The OP says the person is renting FULL TIME in Florida. That means they are no longer an Ohio resident. They're a Florida resident. They need a Florida drivers license, and they need to transfer their title and registration to Florida, and get it insured with the new address.

Yes. The car can be registered in Florida even though the owner has an Ohio drivers license. It will cost a few hundred dollars, & the owner must have the title to the car. The title & the VIN on the car must match. The car/owner must have Florida car insurance. The following is from the Sumter County website. Is the owner renting in Sumter County?

To register your vehicle in Florida we will need the following:

All registered owners must be present. If one or more registered owner is not able to be present in the office, this packet or this form will need to be completed, with original signatures
Photo identification- State issued driver's license or ID card for each registered owner
Original out of state title (If you have a lien on your vehicle you will need to ask for a letter of request from our office to have the title released to us for registration)
Proof of FLORIDA insurance through a FLORIDA agent; (a card, policy or binder will need to be shown in office)
The vehicle for VIN verification weather permitting, or a completed form HSMV 82042
Bill of sale if vehicle has been purchased within the last six (6) months

What I have done when I needed to register or renew a car's license and the location of the car was in another state, was to go to the police station and they will fill out a form. Call your DMV in the state you are registering it and they will tell you how you can do things so you don't have to drive it back there

You can get an exemption for 6 months on the echeck. I had to do this too.

Ohio residents can apply for license plates by mail by sending a completed application and required documents to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). The BMV will mail the license plates to the address provided on the application.

A car here full-time needs to be registered and insured in Florida. The drivers do not need to have Florida driver's licenses. It's not just Florida. It's all about where the car is parked, not the driver. Failure to register the car properly could be considered insurance fraud.

Just had post on this 182 days, then considered resident more than 1/2 the year.

Snowbirds OK with our of state driver's license
 

Assume 60 -90 day snowbirds do not have to get a Florida driver's license? Can't find evidence of this....

It's stated as being required for 6 months or longer at [url=http://www.flhsmv.gov]

Ohio hasn't required the e-check in years.

Best answer is to call or visit a FL DMV office.

My understanding is you get a Florida DL *ONLY* when you establish Florida as your primary residence where you intend to live and vote.

You *can* get a Florida DL as soon as you have the required proof of Florida residency
You *must* get a Florida DL if you remain in the state more than 183 days

Vehicle registration and insurance requirements are different. There are several sites that vehicles must carry Florida insurance and be registered in Florida if they are used in the state more than 30 days. Oddly, I have not yet been able to find that on the FLHSMV site.

See Post No. 8. Also, from the website you cited, it says:

"As a new Florida resident, you must obtain a valid Florida driver license within 30 days of establishing residency to drive on Florida roads."

I admit that the rules are somewhat confusing, but apparently this is the rule for new Florida residents. A snowbird may or may not claim to be a Florida resident. If they are a Florida resident, they need a Florida driver's license to drive on Florida roads, and they must obtain it within 30 days of becoming a resident. If a snowbird is a non-resident, they do not need a Florida driver's license, but, if they drive a vehicle for more than 90 days (non-consecutive) in Florida during the year, they must purchase a Florida insurance policy from a Florida insurance agent. If a person resides in Florida for more than 6 months, the state can declare them to be a resident and require them to get a Florida driver's license.

no that isn't possible.

As a Michigan based snowbird, I suggest you visit the DMV and get the real scoop as Villagetinker suggested. I own a home here and there. I purchased a vehicle here but still carry a MIchigan driver license as it is where I am homesteaded. The car here is titled in FL, has FL tags and FL insurance. All done and blessed by the folks at the DMV. Go Lions!

Ohio doesn’t have an echeck
 

I live in Ohio and haven’t needed a echeck for years.
