Can I drive in California if I am from another country?
Daryl from La Canada Asks: My girlfriend has a U.K driver license and is going to be staying with me in my La Canada, CA home. Can she drive a car legally here, or does she have to get a California drivers license?
Hello Daryl from La Canada, according to the CA DMV, if you are over 18 and visiting California with a valid drivers license from your country of residence,
you can drive in California without having to get a CA driver's license, as long as the license from your home country remains valid.
However, if your girlfriend gets a job in La Canada or becomes a resident, she must get a state driver license within TEN days.
Hope that helps.
Until next time Daryl from La Canada, tell your girlfriend she can drive in CA, show her around California, and tell her good luck on our freeways!
