Caroline Casey & a. v. New Hampshire Secretary of State & a.

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire answered four of the five certified questions, holding that a person who has a domicile under RSA 654:1 is necessarily a resident under RSA 21:6, that a student with such domicile is likewise a resident, that such domicile establishes a bona‑fide residency for the purposes of the motor‑vehicle statutes, and that non‑resident college students who reside in the state more than six months must obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license and register any vehicles kept in the state. The Court declined to answer the third question as not determinative and remanded the case to the district court.
