Is it possible to change the address of a California driver's license to a foriegn one?

Question

I'm moving out of the country for a few years. Can I keep my California license? Can I change the address on my license to my new out of the country residence? Also, can I get the DMV to mail me a new license to my out of the country address?

What would be the best way to keep my license, without having to convert it back once I come back?

Answer 1

You cannot simply change a California license to a foreign license and then back again.  If you try they will laugh you out of California.    A California license is for California residents.  The foreign license will be for your foreign address
