my boyfriend moved from NY to FL and has a valid driver's license in both. Around his birthday or the expiration date of his NY lisence, he gets something in the mail telling him to renew it, etc. But when I moved from NJ to FL and got my FL license, the DMV asked if I had a license in any other state and I had to give them my license from NJ. Before he sends in the form for his new NY license, I wanted to make sure it isn't a felony or something.

Yes it is.
FL DMV did ask him if he had another license, he must have answered no.
It's a crime to hold more than one.

That would be a state by state matter. I suspect most states would require you to turn in your old to get a new license. Ask your boyfriend if he was asked to turn in the old license when he got a new one. If he tries to renew his NY license he will be asked to give his current address. They are not likely to renew his license with a Florida address. If he uses an address of a friend or relative back in NY, that is a crime.

Yes it is.
And when he applies for a new NY license, it will come up that he has a valid FL license.
Let it expire and forget about it.

i think that the general answer is yes , but i also think that in some cases your can have to because my grandpa used to work in alaska and he had one for there and one for the state he lived in , but in your boyfriends case it's illegal.
