FL part-year driver's licenses- hurray!

States require adults to obtain a driver's license and re-register your vehicles when you become a resident. States vary in the length of time you are allowed and what actions you take to become a resident. However, most agree that if you are working as an employee, you are a resident. If you do obtain a new driver's license, you must turn in your old one.

At the Florida driver's license Web site, I discovered that FL has a part-year resident driver's license. You do not give up your old driver's license. Your FL license is stamped "good in Florida only." This should solve the problem for those working on the RV road. Now you can be a legal driver in FL without giving up your driver's license in your home state.

Does anyone know of any other states which do this? If so, please let me know. Jaimie
