What do I do with my car registration if I'm living in two states?
I live in Georgia for eight months out of the year, but I move to Florida during the winter to avoid the weather. I just bought a new car and it’s the first time I’ve had to register a car when living in two states. What should I do?

You’ve become a snowbird and there’s nothing wrong with that! As far as your
car registration
, you need to register the vehicle in the state where you reside. In most cases, this is simply wherever your driver’s license is from.If you have a
Georgia
driver’s license, that’s where you would register the car. If you have a Florida license, you would register the car in Florida.Aside from your current situation, eight states currently allow you to register a car in a different state than where you have your driver’s license:
- Delaware
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- New York
- North Dakota
- Pennsylvania
