Reclassification of residency is highly regulated by the Legislature of the State of Florida. Almost every year, legislation is considered and/or passed that impacts the process. The Residency Reclassification Process is individualized and document-intensive. You should be prepared to provide as much documentation as possible to justify your unique situation. The documentation that you submit must address three basic questions grouped into two parts. Part One: 1) Why did you move to the State of Florida? Part Two: 1) What are your legal ties to the State of Florida? and 2) Were you physically present in the State of Florida for the requisite twelve months?

(red star) When to Submit

Residency reclassification requests and any supporting documentation should be submitted no earlier than two months before the start of the semester in which you request reclassification. Because a person's situation may change at any time, this two-month window is critical. Any documents submitted too early will be returned, and re-submission at a later time will be required. Forms are due no later than one week (7 calendar days) before the first day of classes for the semester in which you seek reclassification.

Examples of when to submit:

A) You want to reclassify as a Florida resident effective Fall 2020 so you submit your paperwork in June 2020. Since Fall semester usually starts in late August, a submission between June and August is ideal. Well done!

B) You want to reclassify as a Florida resident effective Spring 2021, which starts in early January, so you submit your paperwork in January 2020 after being issued your Florida driver's license and signing a new apartment lease. This request would be returned because it is possible that you cancel your lease and relinquish your Florida driver's license before the start of Spring 2021. Hold on to your paperwork and resubmit between November 2020 and January 2021.
