Can I register a car in a different state than I live in?

This may be a question you’re asking yourself if you’re planning on moving to another state or perhaps if you own a vacation property in a state other than the one in which you usually reside. The very simple answer to that question is yes, your car can be registered in a different state, BUT the rules and regulations regarding this process vary from state to state, which means that you will need to check out what is required by your individual state.
