I drive a car that my parents own, but no longer live in that jurisdiction. I want to change my driver's license to my new address, but am worried that it would be a problem if I got stopped for a traffic violation if my registration was in one jurisdiction and my license in another. I don't park the car on the street so i'm not violating regulations regarding overnight parking and stuff like that.

If you are not the legal owner, but are an authorized driver, you have no problem. If you get pulled over, make sure you have the registration card, and proof of insurance (both of which would be in your parent's name.
If asked, tell the truth. Your parents are letting you borrow and use their car.
People drive vehicles that they are not the registered owner of all the time.
Go ahead and change your address!!

As long as there is insurance on the vehicle, and you have their permission to drive the vehicle, you should have no problems. As long as the registration is not expired and you have the insurance card to show it's covered, the address on your license shouldn't matter at all. Go ahead and change the address.

change your driver's license and leave your car's registration alone. if for some reason you get pulled over just explain the situation...as long as you have the registration and insurance proof you will be fine

Who is insuring the vehicle? You can't get a policy in your name when your parents' names are on the car so I am assming they are insuring the car? If there is a claim, it could be denied if they are insuring the car and you are living somewhere else. You should have it all changed to your name.

What country are you in? If your in the US I don't think its a problem as long as you have insurance under your name.
