Why A is correct
Va. Code § 38.2-1800.1 deems an individual a Virginia resident for licensing purposes when the individual maintains a principal place of residence in the Commonwealth, declares Virginia residence on the federal tax return, and declares Virginia residence for Virginia income tax and personal property tax purposes, and can document all of this to the Commission's satisfaction. A driver's license or voter registration may be considered as additional proof, not as a substitute. Residency matters because it determines whether the applicant takes the resident or nonresident licensing path administered by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) A business office alone, without residence and tax declarations, does not establish residency for licensing purposes.
- C) A driver's license is at most supplemental proof; standing alone it does not satisfy the residency standard.
- D) Student enrollment and academic-year living do not meet the statutory residency showing.
Memory hook
Live, file, and declare — residence is proven three ways, not one.
