Hi all,

Just a question for the future about driving licence, when I get to the US. Before I went there last year I got me one of those International Drivers Licences, but Fiance (ex-cop) says I should be fine on just my Aussy Drivers Licence untill I am able to go for a US one. The international ones only last a year so I will have to get another before I leave if needed. Of course we are trying to think of all ways to save expenditures so does anyone have any tips here? We will be living in Missouri.

Kath, sorry to hear of your finger print check frustrations. I have rung my local police station (country town) about this check and they sounded like they had never even done one before for this immigration bussiness so I'm guessing I may have similar frustations.

I've been here every day, but quite. A very bad week for us of anxiety and sadness. Also fiance has been trying to get a loan organised for a house he has fallen in love with but has been having nothing but the run around with it. We did have plans of waiting to do this after I got there, as he wanted me to help in the choosing of our new home but as we have almost identical tastes in almost everything he just knew I would love it too. I think knowing how lonely he has become with me not there, and being a single Dad with a very difficult ex, hurts me more than my own pining heart. :cry:

Thanks Stella.

Hey Stella

The yanks dont care about international licenses at all really, I've been pulled up once in the city and once in the sticks and no probs. THe theory is that you should normally get a local one after 3 months inside Oz but over here you cant legally get one until you have a SSN which means several months for many of us, so no rush! Stick with your Oz one while you can, always helps with getting out of fines ! ;-) They say that (in Cali anyways) once you have a job/SSN you are required to get a Cali license within 10 days, kinda strict but who knows with Missouri.

ciao

Weelllll, I don't know if I should tell you Kath, but I got my Police Certificate yesterday, took just over two weeks...... :blush:

It was all a pretty simple process up here, and the police station knew what I was talking about to a point, they just weren't sure about the fingerprint side of it, but after being on here I knew I had to do name and fingerprint.

Anyways, it turns out I am a good girl after all, got the all clear... :whistle:
