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.

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.

My husband is a Liverpool supporter and he'd feel the same way.

man u who are they? never heard of them

What I am trying to get at is that there are some things that fall between jurisdictional cracks--you have studied a lot. NOW use that info to your own advantage, not by trying to pin down some bureaucrat who probably never thought about this situation existing, but by floating along and dealing with things as they arise IF they arise. I appreciate that you like a high level of knowledge and control and you want things to be official, but sometimes they just are not. This is one of those times, but thousands muddle through.

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.

LOL

But what if...... just kidding.

I just don't want to get pulled for something that's all.

I'll try to chill, dude.

Just for your info, they are European Champion's League runners-up, 2008.

Drive carefully, y'all!

well you've got to let them have some recognition from time to time to stop them whinging

Good question - I've never really thought of it as more than its traditional definition of record keeper. I'm sure if you e-mail someone at that address you should receive a reply - I think it is in fact the general address.

BritishGuy36

Thanks.

I did fire off an email last night, after I submitted the form it says I will receive a reply within 5 days.

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.

BritishGuy36

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...

Let me know if you see an International Drivers licence, they are rarer than a Unicorn or a sighting of Rays wallet.

Ozzidoc

Hmm...is it an international driving permit?

Or do you mean that they are no longer used anywhere?

I have had two: 10 and also 15 years ago.
