Do you think its possible to get my ny license if i reside in nj?

Question

i have a house in upstate ny and i really would rather get my ny license because you get it 6 months earlier than in nj. i can provide proof of address and all that but the thing is is that i go to school in nj so idk. does anyone know what i could do or what steps would need to be taken?

Answer 1

No, you can only get a license in a state you reside in.  Having an address in another state doesn't make you a resident.  If you are unsure of what state you reside in, it's easy to determine.  What state do you pay taxes in?

Answer 2

You haven't even started driving yet and you are looking for ways to break the law. This does not speak well for your maturity. I hope you will wait until you are a little more grown up before you start driving.

Answer 3

You have to prove 90 days residency to be eligible for a NY license.  If you already applied for your NJ permit forget about it because all states share information now.
