Permits and licenses in different states
Okay, to get this all out
I am 17. I turned 17 in June and I got my learners permit in July. I lived in New Jersey and recieved a NJ permit.
This past week, I moved to Florida and I went to the DMV and they told me that in order to get my FLORIDA license I have to have my permit for 1 year ((getting my license in July of next year)), or since I turned 17 already, I had to wait until I turn 18 ((June of next year)).
Since I don't want to wait the extra 6 months because I think it's ridiculous, because in Florida you can get your license when you are 16, I want to get my New Jersey license
ANYWAY!
What I wanted to do, since I do go back to New Jersey and I do have a house there, I wanted to keep my NJ permit, but also get a Florida one since I am living here pretty much full time since my new highschool is out here. So that way, when January comes around ((When I was originally scheduled to take my New Jersey road test to get my New Jersey license)) I was going to go back to NJ to get my Jersey license. But, since I need practice driving I want to get my Florida permit so I can practice driving out here so I will be prepared for my NJ road test. Once I get my New Jersey license, I would then bring it to Florida and have that transfered to my Florida license
I know this is really confusing, but I really have to know if I can do this because I am not about to wait an extra 6 months for my damn license if I don't have to.
Please, only answer if you REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! Thank you!

Sooner or later you're going to have to get a Florida driver's license in the ways that Florida's laws say you have to anyway since that is your new state of residence. Out of state licenses are honored when the state that issued it has laws in compliance with the state the driver is operating a car in. For example- Someone who is 16 with a full Florida license cannot drive in NY since the minimum age is 17 with Driver's ed; they may have a full license but it is not recognized in the eyes of the state they are driving in. You have to prove residence in the state that you are applying to get a license/permit in, meaning that you can't have licenses/permits from two states at the same time. So you may have a home in Jersey but you make your residence in Florida- you have to play by Florida's rules. You may be able to get a license at 16 in Florida, but that is a moot point for you because you're already past the age of eligibility for that and you're a recent resident with an out of state permit.
Basically- you don't have much choice but to wait it out and acquire a Florida license.
