State tax filing
You will have to file a part-year resident tax return in Virginia and pay Virginia tax on the income you earned during the time that you lived there. You do not include any proof that you moved with your tax return. Virginia is not likely to question whether you moved, but if they do, the lease and your Florida driver's license would certainly help to convince them. If you use a moving company to move your belongings, save the receipt.
Under Florida law you must get a Florida driver's license within 30 days after you moved to the state. You must get car insurance in Florida and register your vehicle in Florida within 10 days after moving to the state. These are requirements of Florida motor vehicle laws. They are not necessarily required to prove that you moved, but they might help if Virginia questions your residency.
