A: The Secretary of State’s office cautions that changing your address may impact other things, such as:

Health insurance: Most health insurance is not affected. If you obtain insurance through a family plan that requires your legal domicile to be your family residence, you may want to check with your family or your insurance agent.

Car insurance: Usually affected only if you obtain insurance through a family plan that requires your legal domicile to be your family residence.Check with your family or your insurance agent.

Taxes: Only individuals with significant assets or tax liabilities might be affected. If you are in this category, you may want to check with your tax adviser.

Scholarships or grants: Some scholarships and grants are conditioned on your being and remaining at a legal resident of a particular town/city or state. Financial aid officers report that major student loan and grant programs including Pell, Perkins, Stafford, PLUS, SEOG, and Federal work study are not affected. Check with your financial aid officer. Many legal interests, such as your in-state versus out-of-state tuition status are not affected by establishing your voting domicile in the municipality where you live while attending college.
