moving state and drivers licence
ok ,say I moved from NYS to another state, would I have to apply for a new licence in that state or wait till it expires?
when i does expire do i go to my local state dmv or back to the issue state?
i'm not in any position to be doing this but just for future refrence.

NYC to FL, need new licence, within 30 days of residency. Eye test & swap one for one.

But yes, you will need a new license, normally must be done with in 30 days... but hey they don't ask...

depends on the state you'll reside in, anything from 10 days to 60 days, usually 30 days to switch the license, cost of new license and you hand your old one over, usually have an eye test and that's it, if your under 26 you might have to do a theory test in some states....and you'd also have to register and title your car in the state and get new plates.

That's BS, just moved to NY from Oregon, just paid the $42 and handed in old license, new one arrived in the mail a few days later.....

What did they give you in the meantime in case you needed proof of identification or a way to prove that you are licensed driver if you were to get pulled over after leaving the DMV? I've never heard of someone getting their license in the mail unless they were in the military. That seems odd to me. Especially when you turned over your old license.

Each time I've moved I've gotten a license on the spot. They took my Oklahoma license when I moved to Virginia so I had something in my pocket for a government issued photo ID. It would suck not to have it for check writing purposes. When I moved from Virginia to Missouri they snagged my license and replaced it on the spot with a new drivers license. It just seems weird to have it mailed.

Illinois is a written 35 questions or rather a computer screen multiple choice.
California written test.

PA gave me a temporary photo license with a big red "TEMPORARY" on it while they verify your photo in their database, then the permanent arrives in the mail 2 weeks later.
