Drivers From the US or Canada Who Move to NYS

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Drivers From the US or Canada Who Move to NYS
NYS recognizes valid driver licenses held by residents of other US states, US territories and Federal districts and Canadian provinces. If you become a resident of NYS, you must apply for a NYS driver license not more than 30 days after you become a NYS resident.

You can exchange an out-of-state driver license or Canadian driver license for a NYS driver license if the driver license has your photograph, the driver license is not suspended or revoked and the driver license:

has been valid for at least 6 months, or
has expired in the past 12 months, or
is a valid CDL and has been valid for any amount of time, and
The driver license that you exchange must show the date that your driver license was issued. The date is required to verify that the driver license was issued at least six months before you applied for a NYS driver license. If your out-of-state photo driver license does not show the date of issue, get a driver license record or letter from the state that issued the driver license that indicates the date of issue.

If your out-of-state driver license or Canadian driver license is suspended or revoked, you cannot apply for a NYS driver license. You must remove the suspension or revocation and bring to a NYS DMV office a valid driver license that meets the requirements listed above.

If you have only a driver license like those listed below, you must apply for a NYS driver license as a new driver. See "New Drivers-How to Apply".

You cannot exchange the following types of driver licenses for a NYS driver license:

a driver license with no photo
a driver license that does not show the date that the driver license was issued. Read the information about the requirement that your driver license show the date of issue.
a learner permit
a temporary driver license or an interim driver license
a hardship driver license or an "employment only driver license"
a driver license expired for more than 12 months
a non-commercial driver license valid for less than 6 months.
a driver license marked "non-renewable" or "non-transferable"
To exchange an acceptable out-of-state photo driver license for a NYS driver license:

Complete application form MV-44 and apply at a local DMV office.
Pass a vision test at the DMV office, or bring a valid form MV-619 (Eye Test Report) completed by an eye-care professional. If the form MV-619 has a print date of 9/03 or earlier, the form is valid for 6 months after the date of the eye test. If the form has a print date of 3/04 or later, the eye-care professional marks a box on the form to indicate if the form is valid for 6 months or for 12 months after the date of the eye test.
Surrender your out-of-state driver license. See the information below if your out-of-state driver license is lost or stolen.
Provide at least two points of identification and proof of date of birth, and your out-of-state photo driver license and your Social Security Card.
Show your Social Security Card. If you are not eligible for a Social Security Card, you must provide a letter from the US Social Security Administration (SSA) that states that you are not eligible. The SSA Letter must have been issued within the last 30 days. You must also show an I-94 with one of the following codes: B-1, B-2, E-2, F-2, H4, L-2, M-2, O-3, P-4, Q-3, R-2 or TD. At least 11 months of valid, legal status must remain on your I-94.
Pay the $10 application fee and the driver license fee with cash, check, money order or credit card.
If Your Out-of-State Driver License is Lost or Stolen. If your out-of-state photo driver license is lost or stolen, you can apply to the previous state for a duplicate photo driver license. The duplicate driver license must be a photo driver license. The driver license or a letter from the state DMV must show that your out-of-state driver license was valid for at least 6 months.

Instead of a duplicate driver license, you can apply to the previous state for a letter or driver abstract. The letter or driver abstract must be an original and must be on the letterhead of the Department of Motor Vehicles of the other state. The letter or driver abstract must contain all of the following information:

your name, address, date of birth and driver license identification number,
type or class of driver license and any restrictions.
any convictions, suspensions or revocations, and
the date your driver license was issued, and the expiration date of your latest driver license.
Bring the letter, driver abstract or duplicate photo driver license to a DMV office to apply for your NYS driver license. Remember that you must have six points of identification and proof of date of birth. A letter or driver abstract has no value as proof of identity or date of birth.

      • What You Need to Know to Apply for a Learner Permit:
        本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛What You Need to Know to Apply for a Learner Permit:

        You must be 16 years of age or older to apply for a learner permit. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or your legal guardian must sign the consent section of your form MV-44 (Driver License Application). Your parent or legal guardian can sign the form before you bring it to a DMV office. Your parent or legal guardian is not required to go to the DMV office with you to sign form MV-44. You do not require consent if you are age 17 and you have form MV-285 (Driver Education Student Certificate of Completion).

        Study the New York State Driver's Manual. You can read the Driver's Manual on-line and take practice quizzes, or you can get a Driver's Manual from your local DMV office or DMV Call Center. Part Two and Part Three of the Driver's Manual contain the information you must know to pass the written test to get a learner permit. You are not required to take the written test if you have form MV-285 (Driver Education Student Certificate of Completion).

        You must have proof of identity. The proof must have a total value of at least six points and must prove your date of birth. If you do not have 6 points of proof of identity, your parent or your legal guardian can complete form MV-45 at a DMV office and show proof of identity.

        You must show your Social Security card. If you are not eligible for a Social Security Number, you must get a letter from the Social Security Administration that indicates that you are not eligible for a Social Security Number. You must show the letter to the DMV.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      • NYS DMV - Definition of a NYS Resident
        本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Definition of a Resident.

        If you have a driver license or a vehicle registration from another state, you must get a driver license or vehicle registration from NYS within 30 days after you become a resident of NYS. Section 250 (5) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law defines the term "resident." The law defines a resident as a person who lives in NYS with the intent to make NYS a "fixed and permanent" place to live. To live in a house, a home, an apartment, a room or other similar place in NYS for 90 days is considered "presumptive evidence" that you are a resident of NYS. A police officer can use this evidence as the reason to issue a traffic ticket if you drive in NYS without a driver license or vehicle registration issued by NYS.

        A judge considers the law and the evidence of your intent and decides if you are a resident of NYS. For example, if you pay taxes or your children attend school in another state, a judge considers these facts to decide if your intent is to make NYS a "fixed and permanent" residence. The DMV will not decide if you are a resident of NYS, if you must get a NYS driver license, or if you must register your vehicle in NYS.

        According to this law, students from other states or from other nations who attend school in NYS are normally not considered residents of NYS.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
