Of course. Do you want to drive a car or motorcycle in New York State?
No. I'm going to visit NY with a rental car and that's why I need information.
I already own a drivers license myself, but I'm from abroad. Do I need a special license to drive in NY?
In that case, you do not need a New York State license to drive in New York State. You should only apply for a New York State driver license if you become a resident of New York State.
What if I didn't have a license in my home country and wanted to get a New York State driver license?
In that case you would have to pass a written test, complete a 5-hour pre-licensing course and pass a road test.
Is that what all residents of NY have to go through?
Are you planning to become a New York State resident?
No, I'm just going to visit NY and wanted to use a rental car.
Do you have a valid driver license issued by another U.S. state or territory, federal district or Canadian province?
Yes, I do.
