Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2007Can an European without driver's license make the drivers license during a vacation in the USA?
I have a 21 year old niece in Switzerland. She is a student and would like to come to the USA between semesters and make her driver's license in any American state who would allow it. She is no American citizen but has Swiss papers to identify herself. So far, she has no driver's license at all. Is here anybody who knows if this is possible for her? > I have a 21 year old niece in Switzerland.

If she lies about her residence status, maybe. The DMV only grants driver's licenses to residents of that state (=people who live in that state, citizens or not). But each state's B/DMV has an web site where the rules are listed so see for yourself. > I have a 21 year old niece in Switzerland.

Other than residence requirements there wouldn't be a problem. The sad fact is that anyone who can reasonably pilot a car around the block and parrellel park it can get a drivers license easily. Pick up the driver's manual in the mornign and take the test in the afternoon. Shouldn't take but about an hour to study the manual enought to pass the written. Sad but true. Harry K Can she get an International DL before she comes here? In many states she would need a ;learbers permit fiorst, which involve a test and maybe a wait, too. seekingnewhome@myway.com said in rec.autos.driving: >I have a 21 year old niece in Switzerland.

As a European, she should be fully used to taking public transportation. Tell her to forget about driving and take the bus or the train, as no state is going to license her.
