State statutes or laws will determine if you need to have a driver’s license in the same state in which your vehicle is insured and registered. Some states require you to register and insure your car within a certain time period of becoming a resident of that state but do not mention the need for you to turn in your out of state license and getting a new state driver’s license.
The state of California, require that once you become a resident of CA you must obtain a CA driver’s license and also register and insure you vehicle in the state within a certain period of time. New Jersey is the same way, the state require you to surrender your out-of-state license and change over the registration and title on your car once becoming a resident of Irvington, NJ.
