Can you get your driver's license in America if you're on vacation here, and have it usable in Germany

Question

Okay, I'm writing this fanfiction and I'm wondering if I can use this idea. I doubt it, but can you get a driver's licence in America when you're on vacation here, and be able to use it in Germany?

Answer 1

No, you have to have legal residency in the state where you get your US driver's license.

Answer 2

I don't think that you can. If you live in America, you can get a driver's license here. In your home country-wherever that may be- you can get an international driver's license, that would be usable anywhere overseas.

Answer 3

you cant get a license in america or any other country ......unless you are a citizen of that country ........ you can take a lcense from your own country called international driving license and can get it attached with your visa ....The International Translation of Drivers License (IDL) is intended to overcome the difficulties drivers may have while traveling by car in foreign countries that may have widely varying drivers license requirements.  

     On September 19, 1949, the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic established the International Drivers License IDL ( International Driving Permit IDP ) to allow motorists to travel in foreign countries. Language barriers create difficulties for both motorists and police. This document establishes the right for a person to drive in another country.

     Some countries do not have organizations like the AAA in the USA that provide its International Driving Permits (IDP) only for those who possess a US driver's license. In the USA all US driver's license holders could obtain their international driver's license or international driving permit from the American Automobile Association or American Automobile Touring Alliance. International driver's license or permit could be issue in the country of origin of your native driver license

Answer 4

i don't think so but could you plz tell me/ email me the site of the fanfiction cuz i would LOVE to read it!!!lol thanks♥

Answer 5

Nope, gotta show proof of residency.

Answer 6

NO that is not possible.  To get a license, not only do you need proof of residency, but proof of citizenship now.  As for the German license, I don't even think the military could get away with that.  You would need an international license. (Or a rent-a-car)

Answer 7

Are you saying that your from germany and want to get a license in america then bring it back and use the license there? if no the answer i no. You need a permanent location to live in america and be a citizen of the U.S. and pass the test. If you have an american license and are on vacation in germany and you want to drive there you can do that.
