Hi all,
I am planning on moving to the US, to Massachusetts, at the end of April, once I have finalised my green card through the DV lottery.
I understand that once I arrive in the US as a resident, I am no longer allowed to drive on my Australian license, and need to apply for a license in MA.
However, on the RMV website, it says that along with proof of identity, my green card etc., I need to bring proof of residency in MA.
How do I become an official MA resident? Or, is there any way to get a document to say I am a MA resident, after only just moving there?
I would appreciate any advice!
EDIT: When I do move over, I plan on living with my friend until I get settled. I already have a US bank account set up, and it's registered to her address, so my bank statements have that address on it. Would that count?
