Is he changing residency? It will depend on private state laws.

Depending on his program and how much he is paying for grad school (if annihilation), it might be in his best interest to annals the auto and get a license in that state to gain residency...and lower tuition. Not all state practise this but worth looking into if needed.

About states do non crave total-time students to annals their cars in that location though. Most insurance companies will keep the insurance at your house but then "garaged at" for his address at schoolhouse.

Call your insurance visitor and check the laws in the state and county where the school is located.

I called our insurance company first. They insure vehicles in the land she was going to and knew correct off that she did not have to change her vehicle registration or insurance to that state as long as she is a full fourth dimension student. They suggested I go to that state's DMV website to verify the information they gave me.

Our girl maintains her permanent address here at home. A lot of grad students will also need to do internships, field work, and other responsibilities that will take them to many different places. As long as the legal address is your home then they tin remain insured and registered in your dwelling house state in almost cases, simply y'all have to check it out. And following those lines, the educatee's voting and taxes must be filed in their legal state of residence.

One clinker we came across was the smog check on her vehicle as she cannot come dwelling to take that done and information technology has to be washed here. Turns out that our state has a two-year waiver policy for cases merely like ours. Her car tin go for ii years without a smog as long every bit we make full out a course. At the finish of two years we but collection our other machine to where she goes to school and swapped vehicles with her as she is going off to an internship in yet some other state. We brought her car dorsum home and will smog it soon so information technology is good for at least one year, and then we'll see what happens when her internship is over in the Spring.

He does not, he can continue to use his home address to register his vehicle. Same equally for wellness insurance and voting. Only he tin cull to change over to the country he'southward going to school in if he wants to.

Do some enquiry into cost differences for insurance, vehicle taxes, and inspections, and decide based on that.

Once we took our adult kids off our car insurance policy, nosotros were not able to put them back on. I'one thousand non sure if that's a state policy or our insurance company'south policy. We took them off after they had graduated higher and moved into city's. They tin yet drive our cars, but if they purchase their own automobile, they will have to insure themselves. Not that we listen, but just something to proceed in mind.

+1.

I attended Grad schoolhouse in another state, and virtually everyone from my program was from outside the state as well. I don't remember any of us changed our DL's or automobile registrations. Just, there could be tuition benefits (though it usually takes at least 1 year in residency to secure those) and the cost to annals the car could exist significantly cheaper in the new country.

Continue in mind, however, that simply the owner of record of a vehicle can register it.

So, y'all describe it as "his" car in the OP, only if the car is not in his name, it's your car and you probably can't annals it in a state other than your state of residency.
