Drivers License and Car Registration
Good morning all,
So I know I have left a couple of post about DEERS and marriage but the one question I forgot to ask was about my fiances car registration and drivers license.
1. So my fiances car is registered in GA and I am currently in Ohio (we are orginally from Ohio) but GA has some really high insurance rates and if we both were to have registration in Ohio then insurance will not be that much. So my question is, if he registers his car in Ohio and say he gets stationed in Virginia do we have to then turn around and register our cars there? I have already spoke to the Ohio DMV and they said he can get his DL transferred to Ohio and his registration transferred but I dont want to start this process then have to do it all over again.
2. Also with car insurance does anyone know of a good company to go with? We both have state farm but they want so much money for it and they do not offer any discounts for him being in the military.
Thank you.

Our cars and drivers license are boyh registered in mo. When we have to renew we fill out the paper work and mail it in. It usually takes about a month to get our tags in the mail so it needs to be done early.
As far insurance goes we use USAA, I know a lot of people that uae progressive because it is cheaper. Usually the insurance coverage is for where the car is located the majority of the time not where it is registered. -

Awesome yea I was not sure if we did everything in Ohio if we would have to register it in every single state we lived in, but having his insurance through GA is just so expensive and to renew his tags is not like a flat rate you have to pay for the value of the car which is like $300.00 the last time he had it done. And we were looking into USAA or Geico but was not sure which one to go with.

ok Your fiancée will be able to keep his car registered in his home state of Ohio. As a fiancée you will need to research the laws for each state (even as a wife you need to be aware) For instance, in Virginia, if the active duty members name is the only one on the title then it can remain registered in the home state. If your name is on the title of a car (as a fiancée or wife, even if his is on there as well) It has to be registered in Virginia. So you will need to look at all the laws about each state about how to go about doing that. If your name is on a car and its registered in Virginia if you are married, you can get the personal property tax waived by going to the treasurer's office for the city you live in, and typically you have to take an LES, copy of the orders, and your mil ID and sign an affidavit saying you are only living in Virginia due to your spouse's orders (note this does not apply to fiancés only dependents) Virginia is a commonwealth so they like to trick people up with little nuances apparently. lol. He can also keep him Ohio DL (in states like VA at least as a fiancée you are not afforded that luxury. You have to switch over within 60 days I think it is.)
As far as insurance. We personally have USAA, I have heard other places are cheaper but none of the ones I called that were cheaper from what I heard would offer my homeowners insurance because my dog is on the aggressive breed list. We save a lot by having them both through usaa so that's what we chose.
As far as rates your rate is not based on where your car is registered, its based on where the car is garaged. So that means if your fiancée goes to GA and leaves the car in Ohio then its insured in Ohio but if the car is in GA he needs to call and tell his insurance company the car is being kept in GA. If they find out otherwise that can mess with paying claims. Insurance is based on the state's requirements, the area, the weather, the risk for accidents etc. It all impacts the rates you pay.
