Hello there, I have some questions regarding being a driver from another state. Can you answer them for me, please?


Of course. Do you have a driver license issued in another state, and you meet the other requirements?


No, I don't have a driver license from another state.


But I have a question. Can the DMV give me a conditional license, perhaps?


Yes. The DMV can issue a conditional license to a qualified driver whose NY State license has been suspended or revoked because of an alcohol or drug-related violation. The driver must attend a Impaired Driver Program (IDP) previously known as Drinking Driving Program (DDP) approved by the DMV.


And what about a restricted use license?


The DMV can issue a restricted use license to a driver who qualifies and whose license is suspended or revoked because of violations or incidents that are not alcohol or drug-related, or because of some drug-related violations.


Alright. So I happen to have a drivers license in another state. Can I get some sort of permit to drive in NY?


Yes, you can receive a conditional driving privilege or a restricted driving privilege to drive in NY State. The conditions or the restrictions are the same as the conditions or restrictions for a driver with a NY State driver license.


So, is there a possibility for me to obtain a restricted use license at the DMV office?

Hello there. How are you doing today? I came here looking for advice on the exchange of my driver license. I'm coming from another state.


Did you move to New York State and have you become a resident?


No, I haven't. I'm going to do that in 2 months.


I wanted to know what I have to do regarding my license once I move to NY. Can you tell me?


In that case, you must get a New York State driver license within 30 days.


What about my car? I need to register it in NY then, correct?


That's correct. The registration requirements are generally the same as to register and title vehicle in New York. However there are a few exceptions for out-of-state vehicles, and imported vehicles.


The thing is that I'm moving to NY from abroad and I do pay taxes. What can I expect?


A judge will consider these facts to decide if your intent is to make NY State a "fixed and permanent" residence. According to this law, students from other states or from other nations who attend school in New York State are usually not considered residents of NY State.


Oh, I didn't know that. Well, can I register my car in NY anyway?
