Am I a resident of North Carolina?
You are not, but in order to find out if you can claim to be still a resident of NC, you'd need to find out what the colleges want to see as proof of your residency. This could be a NC driver's license, or tax returns, or a lease. Every state handles this differently, so that's where you have to start.

How can I prove that I am a California resident?
State residency is a bit of a hazy subject and can be surprisingly complex. Unlike in some countries, like China, there is no official registry of who is a resident of which state. In California, residency is defined slightly differently in all these contexts:Tuition for The California State UniversityTuition for the University of California (no, it’s not quite the same as for CSU)Admissions requirements for the University of California (no, it’s not the same as for tuition purposes)Driver licensingVehicle registration (no, it’s not the same as for driver licensing)Income taxA person could be a California resident for some of these purposes, but not for others.In addition, the required documents could depend on whether you are a United States citizen or not. (For example, for college tuition purposes, whether a non-citizen can be a California resident depends on the person’s immigration status. A person on a tourist visa cannot be a resident, for example.)For a driver license application, there is a long list of documents that can be used to show residency. Many of these documents would also be acceptable for other purposes, but may not be sufficient on their own. But in many cases, a driver license or utility bill is all you need.A birth certificate is not a valid proof of residency, because where you were born is not necessarily the same as where you reside.

Am I a California resident?
So far you have been given lots of good information, and lots of bad. First things first. If you are concerned about residency for the purpose of paying resident tuition at a state college or university, you should be aware that non-residents can pay resident tuition if they attended a California high school for three years, which your post would suggest you have done. You are a resident of the state in which you intend to remain permanently. There is a presumption that you are a resident of California if you live there for six months--but if you intend to remain permanently you are a resident at that moment. If you intended to remain in CA permanently on August 6, 2010, you were a resident on that date. You could register to vote immediately. You had TEN days to apply for a California drivers license. (Veh C 12505(c).) You had 20 days to register your vehicle. (It looks like you missed those dates, but so long as you are not stopped you'll be OK if you get it done ASAP.)

How does a foreign national obtain an Iowa driving licence?
From their website, if you are here temporarily as a student, but maintaining your permanent residence overseas, AND if you have a valid driver’s license from your home country you don’t need to get an Iowa license. However you need to carry your foreign license with you and if it is not in English, have it translated into English.If you plan on staying/living in Iowa beyond school, then you need an Iowa license. Iowa does not accept foreign driver licenses for this. You would need to:prove residency in IowaProve you are here legally (obtain a Social Security Number of your visa allows you to work in the USA; or provide your USCIS number on your visa and the DOT will verify this with the fed’s.Take a written test (you can get a free study book from the DOT)Take a vision test (either with or without your glasses or contacts, as long as you can pass)Take a driving test. Need to schedule with the local DOT office after you pass the vision and written tests above. You can retake if you fail. You normally take the test in your own car (or borrow a car from a friend).This is basically what any new driver in Iowa does - unless you have a valid driver’s license from another state, then you just need to pass the vision test.……..My advise, if you plan on going to school in Iowa for 3 or more years and plan to be driving a lot, buying a car, etc. save yourself some hassle in having to explain your foreign license all the time and bite the bullet and get an Iowa license. If you are just here for a couple years and not driving much then you can probably get buy with your foreign license.Note - this is just my observations and I do not have any direct legal or DOT experience in this area, just life experience.
Am I a resident of Philadelphia? (need to know for jury duty)?
I was born and raised in Pinellas County, Florida, until the age of 19 when I began to attend the University of Pennsylvania -- which is in Philadelphia. I've been living on campus in Philadelphia during each school year, but always return home for summer and winter break. Yesterday I received a summons for jury duty here in Philly, but if I'm not a Philadelphia resident I will be exempt from having to participate. My driver's license is still from Florida....but last year I registered as a voter in the state of Pennsylvania (I'd already been a registered voter in Florida since 2008). So am I a resident of Philadelphia or not?
