Sometimes it takes time and paperwork, and of course fees. But it's not really that difficult is people don't try to circumvent the laws to suit their own agenda. :@
Not sure the intention of your post, but I have stated I am not trying to circumvent anything here. I will gladly register it in California, but then I worry about the reverse role. I will be driving and living in Washington with my MH and what happens if a cop pulls me over, especially in a small town where they would know me, and I am there with a CA drivers license and CA MH? If my MH STAYS in WA why wouldn't it be registered in WA.
The problem is that I meet the residency requirements of both states
CA: Claims tax exemptions for a home in California.
Enrolls themselves or their dependents in any type of school (college, grade school, high school, etc).
WA: Maintains a residence in Washington for personal use;
Is attending school in this state and paying tuition as a Washington resident or is a custodial parent with a child attending a public school in this state;
The school thing sounds odd, but California allows for Charter schools. So we plan on putting our kids in charter school for specific programs when we are there.
The rest of the time, they are enrolled in a Washington-based online school through the WA public school system. We have to take them back to WA for standardized testing. They are assigned a public school teacher in WA schools. We have already checked and because we live there part time, this is completely legitimate.
So according to my interpretation, when I go to WA and I stay more than 30 days, I have to move all of my DL, vehicle registration to WA. Then when I go back to CA I have to do this after 20 days again.
It sounds like dual resident is made for this, and I see references to it, but would really like to hear from anybody who has actually done it.
