Hi there!
In about a year (less, even -- scary) I should be done with law school, and moving from Philadelphia (and Pennsylvania) to a state like ... Texas, Tennessee, Washington, New Hampshire, or one of a handful of others.
I'm thinking about getting a Utah permit (and I know -- need to hurry, considering their backlog), but before I do, can anyone shed light on whether the permit remains valid if the holder moves? I would assume it would, but ... gov't red tape is never easy to predict. In other words, if I get a Utah permit now, while living in PA, and move to (say) Tennessee, does the state of Utah give a fig?
(Or, anyone with experience with other out of state licenses, I'd be happy to hear from you, too -- would I be smarter to work on getting a Florida permit, for instance?)
My main idea is this: when I move, I'd like to have a permit that is recognized by the state I move to; UT and FL seem the most obvious choices for widespread reciprocity. I assume it will take me a little while (weeks, at least, probably much longer if there's a hefty residency requirement) to get a new permit for the new state.
Cheers,
timothy
