Hi,
I'm a Tent Camper, and plan to travel the US over the next three years Tent Camping. During times when I'm not Tent Camping, I intend to pay to stay in sleeping cabins in Parks or private campgrounds that offer them.
Basically, I will not have a physical address. I would like to know the easiest states to do the following with nothing more than a Mailbox service (like at the UPS Store):
Driver's License
Vehicle Registration
Vehicle Title
I was on South Dakota's DMV website and found a form here: http://dps.sd.gov/licensing/driver_licensing/documents/PMBFormresidencyaffidavit11-06-2013_000.pdf
It looks like they totally accept people using a Personal Mailbox, and will still give them a driver's license.
All it seems I need is a printed receipt for lodging one night in SD, and my Personal Mailbox address.
It almost seems too good to be true. Is this all I need to do to get a South Dakota Driver's License, and then I can just register my car and get the title transferred using the same PMB address?
Are there any other states where they make it similarly easy to get a DL if you're on the road all the time?
One final question: What if I provide a receipt showing that I stayed somewhere for a week...and not only a day. Does the receipt have to be for only one day?
Thanks to anyone who made it through this and can help me with what I'm trying to do.
Answer for South Dakota = Yes.
One day residence (in South Dakota) is minimum requirement. (campground or motel/hotel)
Call one of the mail forwarding services (like "Americas Mailbox")
for info. (You will need one - Am M/box also has a campground)).
Escapees *recently* also began providing this service in SD as well as TX.
