MA state ID / NY state ID help
 

Hi all, I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right thread but anyways, I currently reside in Massachusetts but I'm moving to NYC in about 6 months. Should I get a MA state ID or just wait and get a NY state ID? Or what can I do? Sorry if its a dumb question tbh

you're just getting an ID? You're not thinking of getting a license?

Yeah, I was thinking of a license after I move to ny because i think that'll take a little longer to get than an ID and I plan on going to school and working as soon as possible, but idk any advice?

Lol i seem like such a teen noob im sorry!

What I suggest is that if you can, apply for a license in MA, then when you move to NY you can transfer over to a NY license. It may not help you as a proof of anything, but you have your daca documents, and it can help in getting the license faster, rather than waiting for a permit or whatnot.

This is my opinion of course.

Thats definitely a great suggestion, thank you so much

Yeah, just think of the Pros and Cons. Pro- you have driving privileges plus ID. Pro- the longer you are licensed, the lower the insurance payments. Pro- It helps to already have a license or permit for six months in MA, rather than having to wait even longer in NY.... and so on.
