California Drivers License Question?

Question

Hello everybody,

I have dual citizenship. Live part time California part time Norway. Can I use my California Drivers License In Norway or will I have to renew it over there ?

Thanks,

Answer 1

I believe gomanyes is on the right track.  Under US law, drivers licenses are based upon residence, not citizenship, and you can be a resident of only one place.  If you have a CA drivers license, that would indicate that you are a CA resident.  If Norwegian law is the same as US law, you can drive in Norway with your CA license.  But, just to make sure, check with your consulate.

Answer 2

Depends on Norway's laws, but most countries allow "nonresidents" to use their foreign licenses.  If you work or own property in Norway, you may be classified as a resident and have to get a Norwegian license.

Answer 3

I believe you would have to renew it, I'm not positive but I think national boundaries void any type of license you may have, to drive anyway.

Answer 4

call norway dmv

Answer 5

your going to have to get a new one
