Can I have license plates and registration from one state but drivers license from another?

in most states, they require a drivers license from the state you are registering in to get a registration and license plates. so it probably would be a problem.

however, if your state does not, then as long as you don't get caught, you'll have no problems. but, if you get caught, you're in trouble.

Depends on the local state regulations. Some states do NOT require the vehicle and driver's license match. While others will cite you if they find out you have resided in the state for more than 30 days without changing registration. People in the military are a general exception as they have no control over where they are stationed and registering vehicles and getting a new driver's license is an unnecessary hardship for relatively frequent relocations not of their own choosing. Insurance companies do NOT care about license and registration. They insure the vehicle and driver and the legality of the registration is up to you and the state. I am not advocating this, but I live in Washington State, near the Puget Sound Naval Base and Shipyard. I left the Navy years ago. I have a friend, who like me, retired here. He came from CA and still has a vehicle registered there. It has been over 10 years since he left the service, and still one of his two vehicles is registered out of state. He says he has been asked about this from time to time, and simply explained his family lives in CA and most of the time his car is there, not here, being used by his family. He seems to be getting away with it. The thing is, most states simply will not spend the time and effort to look for this kind of infraction. The registration fee is a drop in the bucket compared to the other money you spend every day to drive, which IS here where you live.

Depends on what state you reside in. Students paying out of state tuition, temporary job assignments and active duty military do have exemptions. Check with the DMV for the states you want to hold a license or registration in.

No. Both registration and driver's license must match the state they are issued.

Yes you can have vehicles registered in all 50 states if that is where they are normally parked. Some people travel frequently and keep vehicles all over the place, driving them when in town.

You get into trouble if a car stays in a state too long without being registered. It is usually somewhere between 30 and 60 days.

If You are in transit there should be no problem , which means if You can prove You are moving from one to another and U have address in both they should not bother U for a few months as long as your insurance accepts it. Take care

ONCE YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED A RESIDENCE THEY GIVE YOU 30 DAYS TO HAVE TAGS REGISTRATION AND DRIVERS LICENSE CHANGED TO THE STAT IN WHICH YOU RESIDE.

Call Maryland DMV to ask. Rules are usually different per state.

Only for thirty days, That's the grace period in most states and you can risk fines and even suspension of privileges for flagrant violations.
