Be very careful with this advice. There are rules.
If you come from a high tax state, they may reject your claim to have moved if you can't provide evidence you are residing in your new state. Just getting a new drivers license is often not enough if they think they can get tax dollars out of you and the burden is on you to prove you moved.
You need to move as much as possible clear of the old high tax state. Get all your bills moved to the new state. Also try to minimize the time spent in the old state. If you are from California and you spent 7 months in California, they may reject your South Dakota residency if you only spent a couple days in South Dakota transferring your license. If they think there is money in it, they will likely come after you...and will probably win.
