Make sure your 'address of record' listed with DMV corresponds with the address used with your insurance carrier... The associated fees with registration/inspection for motor vehicles have become such a huge revenue source for your home state that they have become pretty savvy about cross-referrencing records and looking for inconsistencies (red flags). And yes, the DMV/RMV (whatever they call it where you live) is a state agency and, while not privy to the actual information contained therein, can compare notes with your state tax records for address verification. Sounds crazy but...
"So, Mr Smith, you took a deduction on your taxes for your primary residence in Anywhere, CA but you say you live in, and have a drivers license from, Someplace, NV... hmmmm... where DO you live anyway?"
Chances are overwhelmingly against you ever getting caught but remember - there is a proviso at the bottom of all the registration paperwork (and insurance) that says, in effect, "by signing this document I attest that all info contained is true and accurate blah blah blah". Insurance Co.'s love to find ANY reason not to pay a claim...
