Every state is a little different, but it is not difficult. You have to take a written test, and then go with an instructor who will rate your driving. If you pass both, you get your license. I took my test when I was 16, and I passed on the first try.
if you already have a driver's license from your country, be sure to let the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) from your state know that. it may help.
FIRST, you MUST have a local address. A street address, that is, a Post Office box won't do.
I believe this is true in every state.
THEN, you can pay the fees, take the tests, have your picture taken, and get your license.
you guys aint serious are you ?only a test? and at 16 ? no wonder **** happens on the roads over there.here you have to have several driving lessons with a mentor, it usually ends up in about 15-20 hours of driving.and a schoolclass for about 4 evenings or so.and 18 is the age.
If you already have a drivers license from another country, you should be able to just trade it in for a US one.
And to clarify Haralds description on Norwegian Driving Ed.: You actually have to do a theoretical test to be eligible to do any practical practice. You can take this at 16, when you're allowed to begin practicing to drive, then when you start doing the actual compulsory stuff, you have to pass a theoretical test, which is hard to pass without taking classes for it. Then there's compulsory nighttime driving (dark), passing on two lane roads, driving on Ice (or oil/water if it's during the summer) and long haul driving. Once you've completed all of these, you're allowed to do the practical test with a censor, if that's the right word, who works for the DMW, not the driving school.
And then, if you pass, which I think about 50% do at this point (it's hard), you get your license.
