Going through admin work of moving addresses and I realized that most states give you a nominal amount of time to get a new license and establish yourself there. Granted, no one’s probably checking, but for those who stayed in NY when did you get a new license and move all your billing addresses?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a specific mention of when individuals switched their permanent address or license to New York. However, it is noted that living without a permanent address can be challenging, especially for administrative tasks like taxes, mail, or applying for a mortgage. States generally provide a nominal timeframe to update your license and establish residency, but enforcement may vary. If you're planning to stay in New York long-term, it’s advisable to handle these updates sooner rather than later to avoid complications.
