Could anyone tell me if it is possible to renew a recently expired American Driver's license if you are no longer a resident? I  live in Edinburgh permanently and don't have a British license, but I'll be visiting the USofA soon and would like to be able to drive.

OK, here is my extrapolated little circumstance - I am trying to get a California driver's license and the DMV here are really stupid. That's the short version. I'm hoping that perhaps a foreign national who got their California license can tell me what the procedure was, because the DMV can't seem to get their story straight ( Read more... )

I'm a naturalized US citizen. I was born in Japan but adopted by Americans as an infant. I've lived in Tokyo, Singapore, Texas, New Jersey, Tokyo, New Jersey, California, and North Carolina. I've traveled around South East Asia a bit while I lived there. Now it looks like I'm moving to Manchester, England for a job. The previous overseas ( Read more... )

A couple of months ago I finally took my driving lessons and passed my driving exam, so now I am the proud owner of my own driving licence. A dutch one, to be precise ( Read more... )
