I was wondering... I might be moving to New Mexico or Arizona from Washington, but I will only be there for 9 to 11 months. They say you can use another state's license, but if I am a legal resident for those 10 months, do I still have to go through the whole getting a different state license while I'm there? And then do it again when I move back to WA? The federal permitting process sucks, as we all know. Thanks, ~Waterbug p.s. You must think I'm crazy if you read any of my other posts - they say I'm moving to Puerto Rico or Ecuador, but I'm having a hard time finding volunteer opportunities in those locations, there are a lot more in NM and AZ (spanish-speaking communities).

I don't know yet. I want to do an AmeriCorps program there... the PR programs are really hard to get into, but I want to spend a while volunteering in a spanish speaking community. I went to NM a few years back and really liked it, and they have the highest percentage of spanish speakers in the US.

If you take up residence you will need an inspection and a permit from that state,as well a resident hunting permit. Yarak

I think your best bet would be to call your local office and ask them - that way you get the proper answer, straight from the horses mouth. Here in CA, you have to have your tags on vehicles changed within 10 days, as well as your license if you are staying in the state for any extended amount of time - 6 months makes you an official "Californian" apparently.
What if I am a Texan resident but because I am in the military I live in NY and want to get my permit there. Do I have to become a resident first or can I keep my Texas residency?
Here is what the TPWD booklet says: Members of the United States Armed Forces (and their dependents) on active duty anywhere are entitled to purchase a resident license. The term "active duty" means full-time duty in active military service, including the National Guard and Reserves of the United States. Such term includes full-time training duty and attendance while in the active military service at a school designated as a service school by law or by the Secretary of the military department concerned.
