How to Formalize Your Florida Residency
Follow these five steps to legally establish your Florida domicile. Our service handles the documentation so you can focus on your life.
Establish a Florida Mailing Address
Set up a legitimate Florida residential address through our virtual mailbox service. Complete USPS Form 1583 with remote notarization so your mail is scanned and accessible from anywhere in the world.
File a Declaration of Domicile
File a Declaration of Domicile in your chosen Florida county. This legal document is the formal declaration of your intent to make Florida your permanent home and is a key piece of evidence in any audit.
Obtain a Florida Driver's License
Surrender your current state driver's license and obtain a Florida license. This is one of the strongest indicators of domicile that state tax authorities evaluate.
Update Voter Registration & Vehicle Titles
Register to vote in Florida and re-title your vehicles with a Florida address. Update your bank accounts, investment accounts, and professional licenses to reflect your new domicile.
Sever Ties with Your Former State
Systematically sever domicile ties with your previous state. Cancel memberships, close local bank accounts, update estate documents, and keep detailed records. This protects you during potential audits.
Frequently Asked Questions
I already live in Florida. Do I still need to formalize my domicile?
Yes. Simply living in Florida does not automatically make it your legal domicile. Filing a Declaration of Domicile in your county, obtaining a Florida driver's license, and registering to vote in Florida creates a clear legal record that protects you if another state ever challenges your residency.
What is the difference between residency and domicile in Florida?
Residency means you live in a state. Domicile means it is your permanent, legal home — the one state you intend to return to. You can be a resident of multiple states, but you can only have one domicile. Domicile determines which state can tax your worldwide income.
How does Florida's unlimited homestead exemption protect me?
Florida's homestead exemption shields the full value of your primary residence from most creditors — there is no dollar cap. This is one of the strongest asset protections in the country and a key advantage of establishing Florida domicile.
What documents do I need to prove Florida domicile?
Key documents include a Florida Declaration of Domicile (filed with the county clerk), a Florida driver's license, Florida voter registration, Florida vehicle registration, and bank or financial accounts listing your Florida address. Our service helps you obtain and organize all of these.
