Hello there. How are you doing today? I came here looking for advice on the exchange of my driver license. I'm coming from another state.
Did you move to New York State and have you become a resident?
No, I haven't. I'm going to do that in 2 months.
I wanted to know what I have to do regarding my license once I move to NY. Can you tell me?
In that case, you must get a New York State driver license within 30 days.
================
What about my car? I need to register it in NY then, correct?
That's correct. The registration requirements are generally the same as to register and title vehicle in New York. However there are a few exceptions for out-of-state vehicles, and imported vehicles.
================
The thing is that I'm moving to NY from abroad and I do pay taxes. What can I expect?
A judge will consider these facts to decide if your intent is to make NY State a "fixed and permanent" residence. According to this law, students from other states or from other nations who attend school in New York State are usually not considered residents of NY State.

Oh, I didn't know that. Well, can I register my car in NY anyway?
Yes. The registration requirements are generally the same as to register and title vehicles in New York. However, there are a few exceptions for out-of-state vehicles, and imported vehicles.
