No restriction in moving in the US. You do need to fill out a form at the post office with your new address so your mail will be fowarded. You have to get a drivers liscense from the state you move to. Also new licene plates for your car. And registar to vote in that state you moved to if you so desire. Will need to change your phone service and insurance. No need to inform the police that you move unless you are a convicted sex offender.
Actually the only governmental thing you have to do is get a new drivers liscence. And I know many people that never do that until their one from their previous state expires. If you don't tell the post office you moved your mail will take forever to get your mail fowarded.
What's the issue with the driving licence? Are the trafficrules different in various states? Sorry to ask these noob questions, but the america sometimes seems to have bit weird little details to us finns...Our dirvers licence is aplying in all EU states, no matter where you have gained it first....

In my state of Washington, you can get a license if your 16, have had a learning permit for 6 months, and have completed the drivers education course.
Driving ages range from 16-18 throughout the United States.
For example, in Sumdud's state of California, the driving age is 18, while in SwimmerXC's Florida, it is 16 (like Washington).
Speed limits generally range from 55 mph to 80 mph on the freeways, and 20 mph to 45 mph within cities, depending on the road and location.
For drinking, most states have the same regulations. To get a DUI, (drinking under influence), you simply have to have your senses impaired in one way or another. Also, even if you are not impaired, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol level above 0.08%. Fines and penalties for drinking, speeding, and other offenses vary. Seat belt laws also vary from state to state. In Washington, for example, there is a $101 fine for not wearing seatbelts. And no, I haven't gotten any tickets yet.

Gollevainen, No matter what state you live in your drivers liscence is good in any of the 50 states. But if you move to a new state and intend to remain there most states require you to get a new liscence in a certian period of time. That period of time varies from state to state. Also you need to registar your car in that state that you have moved to.
Confused?????
little less now, thanks
