Driving without driver\u2019s license is illegal. To acquire a driver\u2019s license, you must apply at your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).<\/p>\n<h2>Application Process<\/h2>\n<p>These steps include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Confirming with your DSO that your student record is Active in the SEVP system.<\/li>\n<li>Waiting 10 days after arriving in the United States to apply for a driver&#8217;s license so that your form I-94 is\u00a0updated in all the government systems.<\/li>\n<li>Bringing the proper documentation to the DMV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The DMV may need to verify your nonimmigrant student status to determine if you are eligible for a driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n<h2>Required Documentation<\/h2>\n<p>When you apply for a driver&#8217;s license at your local DMV,\u00a0make sure to bring original copies of the following documents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All signed versions of your Form I-20<\/li>\n<li>A valid passport and your most recent student visa<\/li>\n<li>Proof of residence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are an F-2 dependent, go to the DMV with your primary F-1 and make sure you both have all your required documents.<\/p>\n<p>After a successful application process, a DMV official will explain the next steps for attaining your driver\u2019s license. It is normal for some nonimmigrants to only get temporary licenses.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>A driver\u2019s license applicant may also need to pass both a driving and written test. If you have a license from your home country or another state, the DMV may or may not require you to take the tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: Studyinthestates.dhs.gov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving in the USA F students and their dependents may be eligible to drive a car while living in the United States.
