Can I avoid changing my registration?

Question

I currently live in Nevada, but I plan to move back to Arizona early next year to go back to school in Flagstaff. My car registration is about to expire, but I don't want to register in NV because I don't want my insurance to go up. My driver's license is also still the one issued by the AZ MVD. If I add one of my parents or my grandparents to my title (with an AZ address) can I still register my car in AZ without risking a huge ticket? Is there any other way to do this? I am in NV for work, not school.

Answer 1

As long as you have a legitimate AZ permanent address to give them, then you can get the AZ plates, also get your license changed too so that the addresses are the same. Use your parents address. good luck.

Answer 2

Just re-register your car through the mail using your parents or grandparents address and when the information comes in the mail have them send it to you. No need to add anyone to your registration just register as if you live at one of their homes, there shouldn't be any problem with that especially since you are planning to go back to AZ anyway.

Answer 3

I currently live in Nevada....those were your words.

Where do you spend your time? Where are you employed? Where do you get mail? If you answered "Nevada" that is where you live now, and where you should have your license and registration, not Arizona. If you don't live at your parents or grandparents address in AZ, saying you do would be fraudulent.
