Years ago I had my drivers license, license plates, and insurance in 3 different states. Then my girlfriend at the time (1996) got into an accident and the officer ended up writing her a $600 citation for not changing her license plates within 30 days of her moving back to her home state (Maryland). After that I always matched all 3 to the state that I call home (even if it is only for 8 months). It makes you feel more comfortable after a student driver rear-ends you and the police ask for your drivers license and insurance to include in the police report.
(Also got a letter to show up for jury duty in a state that I moved out of. The letter said I had to show up for court at a certain date or they would issue a bench warrant for my arrest. The only way out of it was to fax them a copy of my new drivers license showing that I no longer live in that state.)
