Are you a driver from another country planning to live in New York for more than six months? If so, you'll need to obtain a New York driver's license. At CoreWay Driving School, we understand the unique challenges that foreign drivers face when adapting to driving in the United States. That's why we offer specialized driving lessons tailored to your needs, ensuring a smooth transition and helping you pass your road test on the first try.

Who Needs a New York Driver's License?

If you have a valid driver's license from another country and plan to live in New York for more than six months, you are required by law to obtain a New York driver's license. Even if you have years of driving experience in your home country, it's essential to familiarize yourself with New York's specific driving rules, regulations, and road conditions.

Converting Your Foreign Driver's License

In most cases, you cannot directly convert your foreign driver's license to a New York license. Instead, you must apply for a new original New York driver's license, which involves passing a written test, completing a 5-hour pre-licensing course, and passing a road test.
