Do you know any good car dealer in Los Angeles???

I'm surprised no one has mentioned a driver's license? I assume you have a work VISA or green card, as if you are undocumented, I believe the current CA law says you cannot apply for a driver's license.

I had a British license when my job transferred me to the US in 1988. As far as I can remember, I drove around on that license for a few months while waiting to do my test. After 1993, the law was changed and I would have had to show my green card. My birth certificate was required however, so don't leave home without it!

Nowadays I think you will need an "international" drivers license (it has a photo) before driving in the US; I don't think a UK license will do. Apply for your US license as soon as possible (if you have a work permit), as it is used as a major source of ID in the States. see California Department of Motor Vehicles

for "new drivers" - see DMV 2Column CA Template

I think you also need to have Insurance before you get Vehicle Registration. Do some homework, and please don't drive until you are ready.

I stand corrected on the International Driver's License - you can drive on a UK License. (I guess in 1980s they didn't like mine because it did not have a photo.) From CA DMV's "new driver" page after i scanned it further:

International Driving Permits:

The State of California does not recognize an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a valid driver license. California does recognize a valid driver license that is issued by a foreign jurisdiction (country, state, territory) of which the license holder is a resident.

The IDP is only a translation of information contained on a person's foreign driver license and is not required to operate a motor vehicle in California. Citations issued to a person in California who has an IDP, but does not have a California driver license will be placed on the Department of Motor Vehicle database.

The IDP is also called an International Driver License, International License, etc.

I felt like I was in a desperate situation after my divorce. My car got repossessed and I was looking for work. I found a job but how was I going to get two kids to daycare and get to my job or the grocery store on the bus? The job was about 10 miles from home but paid well. I was able to borrow my mom’s car for a few weeks while she was out of town but then what?

I had heard about Quality One Auto Sales but was skeptical. Why would they finance me for a vehicle when no one else was willing to? I figured I had nothing to lose by contacting them. They asked for a few basic things to verify who I was, residence, and a letter from my employer. Then they were able to help me get into a reliable car for a low monthly payment. Without their help I wouldn’t have been able to take the job I desperately needed to care for my family.

Here's their contact:
