My wife didn't change her Drv Lic from her home state to where we are now. We always knew we were going to move back in a few months, so she thought she'd keep it unchanged to avoid the DMV hassle. Now that our AOS interview is coming up, would it be a problem when we show our DLs and her's is from a different state, even though we have been living together since our wedding and have papers to show for it?

Question about Drv License
- Thread starter gmp0119
- Start date
My wife has lived here for 3 years and still has a licence from another state. I was wondering the same thing as you whether she should go get a new one for the interview. Going to the DMV is basically a full day wasted and that's why she's never bothered.
However I have a theory : the NY City theory. Many people in NY don't drive and have no licence. So a licence cannot be a required form of ID for the USCIS as not everyone has it and the rules are national, not local; even outside of NY I'm sure there must be people who don't drive so I can't see them demanding to see a licence from someone.
I hope someone else chimes in with experiences.

That really depends on the state (where I am its 2 months), but yes, at this point she is probably breaking the law by driving on an out of state license.someitguy said:Your supposed to change your License to your new state within 2 weeks of moving there I believe. How long have you been away?
What state are you in? Your wife should probably just bite the bullet and get a new license. The reason I ask what state is if its California, then don't bother as it takes too long to get the new license in the mail there!
Either way however, I doubt it is a big worry for AOS.
