Re: Driver licenses
An International Driver's License will permit you to drive in the U.S. if you're here on a temporary
basis such as a tourist.
However, if you've taken up residence on a more permanent basis in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia, you will be required to obtain a driver's license from that jurisdiction in order to operate lawfully a motor vehicle.
