so for the past year, i have been house sitting full time across mostly the eastern US. with that i gave up my apartment lease and haven’t had a real address in 12-13 months.
as luck would have it, it’s extremely difficult getting a license renewal while not having any residency. i’ve been getting by with parenting temporary licenses from the DMV site, but recently was told by the site that i couldn’t have any more temporaries.
this month i transitioned to living out of my subaru full time and finally established full time traveler residency in Sourh Dakota! super smooth process even with a 29 day expired temp license and walked out with a plastic/physical copy of my new license.
highly recommend spending some time in SD to get your license if needed, it was such a relief to have a physical license again.
tl;dr: south dakota has a great fully legal way to get your drivers license if you are a full time traveler. #lifestyle source
