Their advice is to find a friend who lives in the District and who will let you use their address.

But there is a greater advantage to maintaining our DC residence, namely the Federal government subsidy that allows DC residents (our girls) to attend just about any university in the country and pay only in-state tuition.Michael Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359487055197866481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571147692199175550.post-8175276368591047512011-05-15T06:43:48.887-06:002011-05-15T06:43:48.887-06:00Full-time RVers generally change residency to Flor...Full-time RVers generally change residency to Florida or South Dakota (as we did for 2 years). Your mail-forwarding office can help you with the details. I could see paying DC taxes while you own a house there, but once it's sold you don't have any more ties to DC then you will to Florida.Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571147692199175550.post-59677556859320251062011-05-14T22:49:28.417-06:002011-05-14T22:49:28.417-06:00This is on my to-do list too.

Our driver's licenses will be renewed this summer in California but we have to figure out the whole mailing address, residency, licence, homeschool paperwork business out fast! I'm waiting for the feedback you get too. p.s. maybe we'll meet up in Mexico. Our kids will be 7 and 4 in the fall.Victoriahttp://www.forgeover.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571147692199175550.post-84812461182880472362011-05-14T20:47:25.274-06:002011-05-14T20:47:25.274-06:00Perhaps your councilmember (ward or at-large) can ...Perhaps your councilmember (ward or at-large) can help.Peter Orvettihttp://www.facebook.com/PeterOrvettinoreply@blogger.com
