Have you tried driving in AZ for 6 months using Philippines Drivers License

To Pinoy Pinay in Arizona,

Just wondering if someone used their Philippines Driver's license here in Arizona for 6 months.

Reading the Arizona DMV, a person is required to get AZ license if there is an intent to drive for more than 7 months.

Since i got my NOA for my EAD and expected its approval by June, i plan to apply my DL after i receive my EAD.

June is the 6th month of my use of philippines driver's license here in AZ.

Use of Philippines license for 6 months in AZ. Is this allowed?

Why not apply for a DL already? The DL will also serve as a valid id. Do you have an SSN already?

Yes. Got my SSN.

Did my assignment too: practiced my parallel parking, went around the DMV office area to know the test area, read the AZ Driver's manual and study the california driving video. California and AZ are almost the same.

Can i use my NOA (EAD and AOS) to apply for my DL?

38) What is needed for a person from another country to drive in Arizona?

You may legally drive in Arizona using a valid driver license from another country. An International Driving License or Permit is not required, but is recommended since it can be printed in English, and can be used in conjunction with the driver license from the other country. If an International Driving License or Permit is used alone, it must be issued by a country other than the United States. Vehicle rental companies may have additional requirements.

However, Arizona law requires that you obtain an Arizona driver license (and vehicle registration) immediately if any one of the following applies. If you:

1. Work in Arizona (other than for seasonal agricultural work) -or-

2. Are registered to vote in Arizona -or-

3. Place children in school without paying the tuition rate of a nonresident -or-

4. Have a business that has an office in Arizona, and that bases and operates vehicles in this state -or-

5. Obtain a state license or pay school tuition fees at the same rate as an Arizona resident -or-

6. Have a business that operates vehicles to transport goods or passengers within Arizona -or-

7. Remain in Arizona for a total of 7 months or more during any calendar year, regardless of your permanent residence.

Out-of-state students enrolled with 7 or more semester hours are not considered Arizona residents, regardless of employment.

Active duty military personnel based in Arizona who qualify for exemption under the Service Members Civil Relief Act of 2003 are not considered Arizona residents.
