My husband (active duty) and I want to change our state of residency from WI to TX. My WI drivers license is set to expire next month. Can I change my state of residency to TX and get a TX drivers license all at my local DOT? If not, how do I go about this. Also, he%26#039;s in school now until the end of next month, what does he have to do on his end?|||You know you can just renew online or call up WI, all states have separate rules when it comes to military and their families. If you change your residency, you have to change everything, you may be required to retest for both your licenses, any cars will have to be re-registered, your insurance will have to be changed, you%26#039;ll need to have it re-inspected to meet TX guidelines, all your taxes paperwork will need to be filled out again and at the end of the year you%26#039;ll both have to pay state taxes to TX instead of him having no state taxes to WI, DEERS will have to change your home of residency now and again if you leave TX. Some of that stuff will end up costing you. If your license is the only reason you want to change I would think about it long and hard, there are ways around all that stuff, that%26#039;s not even the whole list, I have a friend who basically screwed herself by doing that. I almost did it too, now we%26#039;re leaving here in a month. Call WI DOT and ask what you have to do to renew, I%26#039;m sure it%26#039;ll be cheaper and easier. You said he%26#039;s in school, if he gets orders are you going to change again? Think about it|||yes. when he returns, yes.|||You can change your state of residency to the current state that you live in. with that you can change your drivers license too. Just go to the local DMV. Your husband doesn%26#039;t have to do anything you can do it by yourself|||I will assume you are currently living in Texas. If you are, just go to your local DOT and get a DL, and register to vote. That%26#039;s it! Hubby will have to do the same, and then have it changed on his military pay as well. BUT, you have to be living in the state at the time to be able to do this. If you aren%26#039;t living there it%26#039;s a no go.
ETA: When you move with your hubby you are generally required to get a new DL for wherever you are stationed. There are some states that are exceptions, but changing DL is the norm. Also, your state of residence is going to change with every move. His will not as he is there on military orders. But yours will.|||first,do noting to his army check as one has told you.the army and him will work on it.no on the local dot.you can renew then there and then you will haft to go to tx and take the test there so get in there and get them renewed be for you leave.were ever he is ,if he is in tx all ready he can do it there.if not his license can be done that way as well.you can also go to [dmv ]and they can tell you what for sore.
