Actually there is a form to e-mail them on their website. Click on "Email the Registrar".

There is no one running around keeping tabs of all this though, except you.

Nope. Your immigration status name only matters to Immigration. The IRS has another definition of what makes you a 'resident' and so does each State's DMV. You need to float along in the Land of the Unknown Tongue.
I think I will get an email together since if I'm going to get an accurate answer out of anyone, it could be BMV head office in Columbus rather than a small BMV out in the sticks. |

Thanks.
But being a staunch Liverpool supporter, I couldn't bring myself to give money to Man U's sponsors even if it was half price. :rofl: |

Hmmm ok. I guess it would just be on my mind in case the local fuzz stopped me and asked why I had been driving for months on my UK license.....
Good to know. I guess it's well worth clarifying with them then. I think I will get an email together since if I'm going to get an accurate answer out of anyone, it could be BMV head office in Columbus rather than a small BMV out in the sticks. I have never heard of a cop asking someone how long they've been driving on their foreign license. And I've never read of anyone experiencing a problem due to lack of a DL, other than for all the *other* uses it serves. What I want to get across is that you're not dealing with one, unified government body here and that does make a difference. You know you're not doing anything wrong, you're taking the steps possible to comply with the rules, and it will all be done and dusted inside of 6 weeks tops. Breathe. |
Re: BritishGuy36’s moving to America thread
LOL
But what if...... just kidding. :D I just don't want to get pulled for something that's all. I'll try to chill, dude. :p |

I did see that link when I was browsing the site, but what exactly is a "registrar" in that context? I had it in my mind that it wasn't an address for general enquries, for some reason.

Re: BritishGuy36’s moving to America thread
Thanks.
I did fire off an email last night, after I submitted the form it says I will receive a reply within 5 days. |
Re: BritishGuy36’s moving to America thread
In Indiana if you become a resident, now I think that means longer than a year, or you intend to make it your home, then you need an Indiana DL.
You also need an International DL to go with your UK DL - Exactly why I don't know, but they wanted it so I got one. We have friends who have been here for 3 years driving on their UK DL, now what would happen if they were in an accident and their International had expired....God knows. |

There is no such thing as an international driving license - whoever insisted you got that clearly didn't know what they were talking about. Unless of course, they didn't speak english, and wanted a translation...
Or do you mean that they are no longer used anywhere? I have had two: 10 and also 15 years ago. |
