Answer 1

As long as your luck holds up!

Answer 2

Yes, until you get caught IS the correct answer.

Sometimes they'll do sweeps of apartment building parking lots.

Keep it garaged as much as possible and don't park in the same spot all the time.

Put a little mud on the plates so that they're hard to see.

If caught, lie about how long you've been there.
Do not (in general) say anything over 2 weeks as an answer.

Change your mailing address for plate renewals to a relative or friend still in Jersey.

----------------------- Insurance ----------------------
You can insure a car you don't even own - so insuring one in another state shouldn't be too hard...
Call them and ask them - hypothetically - what it would cost it your ahh... umm... "friend" would move there.

I'd worry more about the insurance not covering you car than a $300 ticket.
They try everything to to keep from paying up as it is, so they'd probably love this. You should check your policy to make sure you're covered. Otherwise - you could out major bucks, sued, in jail, forced into bankruptcy, or - even have to walk.

Some states fine you if your insurance is no good.
Some will forever take the title to your vehicle.

See if your insurer offers insurance in MD.
I kept the same agent for over twenty years although I moved from MO to IL and back again.
If that branch won't do it - but you like the company.- look for a branch closer to MD. The nearer they are to the border, the most likely they are to write insurance for both states.

Answer 3

If you have moved to Maryland from another state, the District of Columbia, or a United States territory, you will need to get a Maryland license within 60 days of arrival. To do this, you must appear in person at an MVA office and present the following:
Old driver license that is either valid or expired less than one year
Birth certificate
Two forms of identification showing you are now a resident of Maryland
Social Security number (it will not be displayed on the license)

If you are new to the state, you have 60 days to switch over your title and registration.

Your insurance policy remains in force, as long as you notify your insurance company of your new address.

Answer 4

If you've changed your residency, the law states within 30 or 60 days you are to change your registration, insurance, and license. If you get pulled over, I don't think you would get any ticket for this. It seems like it's just an administrative procedure the state has in place to earn money and ensure they have all of your information at one address. If your primary residence is in NJ, you technically should change your driver license to NJ, but you would need to take the driver test again.

Answer 5

You can buy insurance from anywhere that is valid in the state you live in. Where ever you live you need to have a DL and tags from that state. Generally you have 30 days after moving to make the changes.
