Drivers License in the states PART 2

Read the previous test for documents needed for the knowledge (written) test.

Once you pass the driving test you will have to produce the following documents to get your driving license

  1. Utility bill or something that has your name and address on it (Lease agreement might not work from what I got by the look of the guy)
  2. Passport
  3. i94
  4. Letter from employer
  5. Indian license
  6. SSN card
  7. The paper which your examiner gives you stating that you have passed
  8. A USA CHEQUE to pay the money for the license. CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED!!
  9. And do dress nicely since you ll be taking a picture which will be on your license :P
That's all folks :)

P.S: The sad part is that the license is for the duration of your visa. So most of us will have to renew it yearly :(

Driver's License in the States

The Driver's license test generally has 2 parts. 

Knowledge and the ACTUAL driving test

If you have an Indian license, take the same along with the following documents
  1. Passport
  2. I-94 printout
  3. Letter from employer stating that you work there
  4. SSN- Details on how to get one is in the previous post.
For the knowledge test, you can practise online by doing practise one's according to your respective States. You can get few here (http://driving-tests.org/) In Ohio, the test has 40 questions and you just have to get 75% of the questions to clear the exam and then schedule your DRIVING test.

Best of luck!

P.S.- I read the manual and did the above questions. Most of the questions just need plain common sense answers :) So it really won't take too much time.
