A international driving license is only a translation into other languages that you hold a valid license in your home country. It will not help you get a driving license here in the US. You are still going to have to take a written test and do a driving test to get a license from your state.

Every state has different rules about what is needed to take the test so check with the DMV for your state.

I am not sure if this is a proven thing or not but something I plan to try. I've asked my husband to get a license just when he's ready to come here, both international and local (one needed to drive 4-wheeler within India, which he already has). We plan to use this to show the insurance company that he has been driving in India for x number of years. We're hoping that it will reduce the premium we've to pay. Premiums for new driver are so high!!! Let's see if it works, it's a long way from now....
