Of course. You must exchange your-out-state driver license from another U.S. state or territory, federal district or Canadian province within 30 days of becoming a resident of New York.
I have to do this within a month of becoming a NY resident?
Yes, that is correct.
Can you suggest a topic to me?
Driver License.
That's a great topic. But I have another question. What should I do if I can't get a letter or abstract showing the date of issue?
In that case you must apply for a new, original driver license.
Will do. By the way, is paying taxes enough to be considered a resident of NY?
A judge considers these facts to decide if your intent is to make NYS 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 NYS.
Do I need to visit the DMV office to make an exchange?
Yes. This transaction can only be processed in person, at a DMV office.
Would you like a faster service?
No, that's alright. I have time.
Would you like to visit the DMV office in another county?
