St.Hilaire" To: residency@u.washington.edu Subject: Military & non-WA DL Message-Id: <98Mar11.151358pst.13441@gaea.admsec.wwu.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I get this story all the time and I'm curious to know how you respond: "I'm with my husband in California. He's in the marines. I'm required even as a military dependent to have a Calif. driver's license. But our vehicle registration and voter registrations are both Washington." In the past I have tried to insist that military personnel, and certainly their spouses, are not required to get a DL of the state in which they're stationed, and yet I keep hearing this story. When I was in the army (granted, that was 30 years ago), the great state of Texas didn't require me to get a Texas DL. Does anyone know the truth? Is every state different in this regard?
