I reside in two different states (Georgia/Florida). I have two houses and I stay in Georgia M-T and then stay in Florida T-M. Sometimes that fluctuates...but that is about how it is. Both states say that i am required to get an ID in their state. How can I claim residency in both states and also carry the proper ID. Any clues, ideas, or suggestions?

I beleive that the other submitter is wrong. you can live in as many states as you like. If both require ID from their state...
Get a license in one, and a DMV id card from the other.
And, as a federal form of ID, a passport trumps either state's requirements. (I think)

You cant get a international drivers license if you reside in and are a citizen of the US you must get a license from the state where you reside, preferably the one you claim as your primary residence, which would also be the one that you vote in. As one poster already said get a drivers license in one state and just a State ID card in the other as you can not hold a drivers license in two states. I am curious as to who told you that you had to have an ID in both states and why.

You can only be a resident of ONE state at a time. Which one do you not "work" in? That would be the one to not be a resident in. If you don't work, then the one that your primairly call home, and where you have mail delivered, etc is your home state. You have to point out to them that both are saying yes, and tell them which is the main one. Also don't stay in the "non" resident state more then 30 days at a time. Doing so generally in the US makes you a resident of that state, even if you go back to your "resident" state after that.

As used by most states, residency means the state that you claim as your primary home. It is not necessarily the state that you live in the most, but rather the state that you intend to be your home. Theoretically, it is possible to have different primary residences for different purposes.
Most states have laws that require residents of that state to have a state driver's license in that state in order to drive in that state. Likewise, they tend to require you to surrender your driver's license from another state at the time that you obtain your new driver's license. So for driving purposes, you will have to choose one state as a residence. While an international driver's license will work for short-term tourists, it is unlikely to work for your circumstance.
Likewise, you can only claim one state (and one location within that state) as your residence for voting purposes and education purposes (or other state benefits).
If you are as close to 50-50 as you say, you may want to talk to a lawyer licensed in both states to figure out which home is more defensible as your residence and what you need to do to avoid getting repeated tickets for not having a proper driver's license.

at the beginning, till you're married you could no longer report for housing. 2nd, prepare for housing the two the DAY you get married, or the day after, housing is an rather aggressive factor in military words. purely a speedy heads up, you could need seen id (drivers license) besides as a marriage certificates and his orders bringing him to regardless of base he's on now (if he does not have them, which maximum infantrymen do no longer, a letter from the commander asserting he's a factor of regardless of unit he's a factor of will do). so a approaches as going to diverse bases, except particularly authorized the army will in all risk no longer enable you to homestead on a various base. the only way i might desire to become attentive to this being authorized is that if 2 small bases have been placed close at the same time, or perhaps then i do no longer think of they could authorize it because of the fact one base could be ceding money to the different. wish this facilitates

get an international driver's license. they can't say squat about it, but if you claim residency in both states, and collect any type of state benefits from each state, or you claim residency in only one state at tax time you're looking at jail time.

claim one as your residency and other as a rental property.
