In America, a driver's license is the main document, the same as a passport in our state. Almost every American has a driver's license, starting at the age of 16. But the procedure for obtaining rights in America is slightly different from our procedure.
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to contact the special agency Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which deals with such issues. BMV has offices and representative offices in all US cities.
Step 2
Take the driving license exam process. In America, this process is divided into two stages. The first is the theory and the second is practice, that is, driving exams. Both of these stages are quite elementary for any person and for those who have already received a driver's license, for example, in Russia, it will not be difficult to obtain a license in America.
Step 3
Come to the BMV office at a convenient time for you, bringing your passport and social security card with you.
Go through the registration procedure. Receive a custom quiz with questions and fill it out on the spot by answering all the questions asked. The test will be admitted and considered passed if it contains 40 correct answers out of the stated 50. Moreover, the time of such testing is not limited.
Take a picture on the spot, in case of successful passing of the test and pay $ 9 to the cashier.
Step 4
Receive your temporary driver's license by checking your mail in about 10 days. With such a certificate, you can get behind the wheel and drive a car, but only if a driver with at least a year's driving experience is in the car next to you. Such a driver's license is valid only for six months. Before this period expires, it is necessary to go through the second stage.
Register 2 months after receiving a temporary driving license. You can go through the registration procedure via the Internet on the official website of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or by calling the indicated company a few days before the expected delivery.
Visit the BMV office at the appointed time, arriving there by private car.
Step 5
Take an instructor who will take the exam and fulfill his requirements by visiting one or another city street, which he will indicate, in his car. This trip usually takes 10-15 minutes. After the ride, you will be asked to park between the two cars at the curb. When all the instructor's requests are fulfilled, you return home and wait several days until your permanent driver's license will come to you by mail. At the same time, until you receive such rights by mail, you can drive a car using a temporary certificate that will be issued to you at the BMV center.
