In eight select states, the DMV does not require the license and registration to match. In Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, New York, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania, drivers must prove their residency in the state where the vehicle is registered.
Can a New York driver’s license have an out of state address?
Typically, No. You must be a resident of a state in order to have a drivers license from that state.
Can you register a car in a different name than on the title ny?
Yes, they can. If the registration and title show two different names, the owner (the name on the title certificate) must authorize the other person to register the vehicle by completing box 3 on the Vehicle Registration/Title Application (PDF) (MV-82) form.
Can two people own a car?
If you intend to own the vehicle jointly, you’ll need a written agreement outlining the details. This is especially important if only one of you signed for the loan but both of you will be contributing toward its repayment. When you register the vehicle with the state, put it in both names.
