Re: New Jersey Driver's License
That's fine but that's not a licence exchange, i.e. you swap one licence for another with no exam required.

Re: New Jersey Driver's License
In NYS you can exchange a Canadian license for a New York State license with both auto and motorcycle with absolutely no testing other then eye test and photo ops.

Re: New Jersey Driver's License
Several states exchange Canadian licences and some exchange other countries also (eg German licences in Massachusetts) but BritinParis is saying that no states exchange BRITISH licences.

Re: New Jersey Driver's License
You do have to to do the written test. This is very very very simple. I spent one night online doing practice questions and passed.
You do have to do the eye exam.
You do not have to do a practical driving test of any sort, if you have a valid british license.
Technically I suppose it's not an exchange - you do keep your British license. However, you do not have to take the NJ test, because you have a valid british license. Call it what you will ;p

Re: New Jersey Driver's License
I meant to update on this. I did my NJ driver's license without having to take a practical driving test. Yet another great reason to live in the Garden State. I did have to take the eye exam and a computer test, with the world's rudest employees, all of which I took with good humour and a smile cause...I wanted my damn license!!

Re: New Jersey Driver's License
We've just got our NJ licenses after moving from the UK a month ago. Our relocation agent now takes all of her clients to the DMV in Washington, NJ, as she says they are the nicest folks. We had no problems and the staff were actually friendly! As people have said having a UK license means you only need to pass the simple eye test and take the theory. Now onto getting a car for ourselves!
