Moving from NY to MA

[joediesel]

Question for you Mass guys..

I am moving from NY to MA, already changed my address on my car ins.

My question is, my car is a lease and I will probably be replacing it within a year, and my car is registered to my parents house in NY, same address as my NYS lisence. Now do I REALLY need to change my lisence and reg to MA? Can i get away with it for a year until it comes time to buy a new car up here?

I live in an area with a ton of college kids and a lot of out of state plates, so Im not worried about someone ratting me out.

They don't really check... you should be okay. All my NY and CT friends has been driving around forever with out of state plates. You just need to go back and get your inspections done back in your state.

Why did you change your insurance since you did not plan on changing everything? I had my license/reg/insurance with my mother's address in NJ when I first moved up here, and then switched everything at once.

I do not think you will have an issue with the state (so long as you can get a resident-parking sticker, if needed), but you might end up having an issue with your insurance company if you get in an accident.

Think about it this way: You get in an accident, but now your license/registration/insurance do not match. That would be a great loophole for the insurance company to refuse your claim and drop you.

Personally, I would not risk it.

P.S. Get ready for a giant kick in the nuts if you have to pay excise tax on leased cars.

This... You should have left your car insured in NY. Not sure how this plays out with your insurance now having the car stated as being kept at your new address.

If you are moving to the city of boston and plan to get a resident parking permit you will need to get mass plates If you do not need a resident on street parking permit / sticker don' t get mass hole plates

If you get pulled over, they may give you a hard time if your license reflects your MA address and you have NY plates...
