My parents are expats, so they’re not home either. My brother’s home, and I love him to death but he’s not exactly cooperative.

Are there any ramifications to missing the letter? (I hail from Washington State, if that matters.)

I know it’s fair to opt out because of travel, but is it punishable if you don’t even send back the letter?

    I have, and great at least so far.

    I got a new drivers license right before I did it, so I don’t have that concern for a…few more years…

    That would be the main issue. Since Drivers licenses are state based not federal, and they may want to use you getting a new driver’s license as a reason you are ACTUALLY a resident.

    But I have converted it to a UAE license. And luckily that expires for the first time before my California one does, so I can see if I am able to renew the UAE one without actually presenting my California one.
