This is a good question. I've looked into it and I couldn't find anything. If you pull a drivers license in a new state, you will be required to forfeit your current DC license. I'm guessing that the DMV records are shared across states? I have no idea.

If you want to sever DC residency, you really need to do it all - car registration, drivers license, voter registration, changing address for all bills/bank accounts/investments accounts need to be moved to Virginia. Do not leave any paper-trail in DC.

In DC, you can cancel your voter registration here: https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/Register-To-Vote/Cancel-Voter-Registration

Definitely do that.[/quote]

You can also indicate when filing DC income tax that "this is my last filing" or similar language.

We did this and also cancelled our car registration, and DC kindly mailed us a nice check for the rest of the year.

The process of leaving DC was very smooth. As some PPs said, the key is to set a proof of domicile in some other state and to spend fewer than 183 days/ year in DC. Then byebye high-and-increasing state taxes.[/quote]
