In Indiana, you aren't required to get Indiana identification until 60 days after you become a resident, and you don't necessarily become a resident until you have lived in the State for 183 days in a year. If Michigan is the same, you won't lose your Indiana residency until you have lived in Michigan for 6 months and acquired Michigan residency. Look into Michigan's time period on getting a Michigan license after moving to the State. If it is like Indiana's, keep your Indiana ID and Handgun License for those six months.

- This is absolutely not legal advice and I can't promise it won't get you in trouble. DO NOT do this without looking into Michigan law on residency, which will probably be found in the same area of the MCL as driver's license requirements.
