I became a resident of Nevada from South Florida in October of 2023. I made at least two dozen calls before I found a place to get residency. I went to the social services on Foremaster called the Courtyard in Las Vegas. That was the only place. They gave me residency there. Beware! The insurance is outrageous! My auto insurance for my van was $136 a month in Florida, is now $257 a month in Nevada. I have no moving violations, no tickets, not even a parking ticket. Was it worth it? Not sure, I wish I would’ve shopped around for another state. My auto insurance is now 25% of my income

How does insurance work for you? Do they just have your address as the "garaging address", even though that's not where you're garaged? Or something else?

Texas,South Dakota and Florida you can use a digital address as long as you bring in bills or bank,credit card statements sent to that address.

I met a full time rv guy who use a ups mail box as address , which actually show street and apartment #, to register for driver’s license, that mailbox has a fee but can be used to forward mail.

I thought I'd make a quick mention that it's not always true that the auto insurance in Florida is cheaper than Nevada as mentioned in this video. For me at least, I saved about 40 dollars on my insurance when I registered here in Nevada. All you have to do is call your insurance broker and tell them you are thinking of moving to such and such town in whatever state, and they can tell you exactly what your insurance would cost when you make the move. That is what I did, and I was pleasantly surprised that I'd pay less in Nevada than I was paying in Florida......

The reason is that Florida either still is or at least was a hotspot for insurance fraud because of all the con artists, drug trafficking, etc. So Florida's answer to all that was to make insurance more difficult (and therefore expensive) to get fruadulently. I once reg'd a vehicle there for a short time, and the auto insurance worker told me that was the reason that at least some if not most parts of Florida tend to be pricey on auto (and other) insurace.

this made even more sense to me the second time through it. It is true, some social service agencies have the power to designate you homeless/houseless after an interview or two. This will open doors that would otherwise be closed w/o this designation e.g. bump you up a federal housing wait list.

Fantastic information - thanks.

So I'm here in Laughlin. Went to DMV to talk about becoming a new resident. I'm from So Cal also and in the identical situation as this fellow. However, I think they have caught on to using shelter, food banks as a way to skirt the 30 day requirement. The lady told me they absolutely enforce it. How did he prove residency? He didn't say anything about sowing a receipt. The lady told me they need a computer generated document showing full name and dates.

Great info! Thank you!

I've been without a license for 4 years becuase Oklahoma is a 3 month wait to get one and I lost mine and it expired sometime don't know when and no one does, Id have to go back to Illinois to find out. I have been trying to get mail sent to someone's house in MO for 2 months and somehow they never got 3 pieces of mail that was sent there so finally i did a change of address and that actually worked, got mail sent here so that I have the mail in hand when I go. I wish I'd have known about this before. Its the main thing that has stopped me from getting on the road.

Lol I used a hotel I was working at as a address I was able to pick up mail there and prove that as my address lol since it is a extended stay so if you are homeless and work at a hotel you can receive mail and get your address that way as well otherwise I didn't know about this social service idea it seems like a pain to go through that list considering everyone won't do it for you

Thanks......t

I have health insurance through a previous employer. Would being "certified homeless" interfere with health insurance (and maybe vehicle insurance) as far as a legitimate residential address?

So if I move to Nevada take my lease and my Pennsylvania driver's license to the DMV they won't just simply give me a license?

Does insurance work the same way?

South Dakota only requires 1 night stay.

How expensive is it to register an out of state vehicle? The transfer to FL when I moved here from CA in 2009 for my 2002 Impala was $400.

im looking into this lifestyle i live in comi fornia i cant afford my house payment anymore so instead of losing my home i am planning to rent my home out could i still do this and become a resident of Nevada thanks

I absolutely love Nevada. However I have to warn people the medical system in the biggest city Las Vegas is atrocious. I had my base there and became ill. It was an awful experience. I did some research and Nevada is 49th in the country for health care. Maybe there are other cities nearby that would have better options. Or maybe I’m used to the great health care in my home state. But I would be cautious and do your research if you have medical issues.

Houseless. That's a far more accurate way to describe the situation when you have a home but not an address.

So does it cost more for Real I.D.? it does in Wasihington State, and I haven't got my birth certificate or a passport yet...61

I forget the date, but Real ID requirement is put off until 2023 I believe. A passport is a Real ID.
