united-states driving washington arizona
Am I legally obligated to get a driver&#39;s license after moving?
<p>I recently moved from Arizona to Washington, and I had to get a Washington Driver's License to be able to register my car (the AZ registration was about to expire).  However, pretending I didn't need to do that, do I legally have to register to drive in the new state?  I would have preferred to keep my Arizona license, which didn't expire until 2051 (AZ licenses don't expire until you turn 65, if you weren't aware).  I'm fully aware that you have to update your voter information, but I'm specifically wondering about the Driver's License.</p>

<p>According to the <a href="http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/moving.html" rel="noreferrer">Washington State Department of Licensing</a> website, you have 30 days to get your Washington State drivers license from the time you establish residency in Washington.  You are considered to have established residency if you do any of the following:</p>

<ul>
<li>Register to vote</li>
<li>Receive state benefits</li>
<li>Get any WA state license at resident rates</li>
<li>Receive in-state tuition fees</li>
</ul>
