when you visit the Lousiana Dept of Motor Vehicles and/or The Drivers License Bureau,

what's that human tell you ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Like Darnell said, check with the DMV. It varies from state to state. In my case, I had to take both the road test and the written test to get my Illinois DL, despite the fact that I showed them my Nicaraguan DL (heck, I'm used to driving stick!). So, check and see, but in worst case scenario, you'll have to take both tests.

You will have to take the road test again and get a new license I believe since its a national license you have. Some states may have some concessions if it is an international driver's license. verify with your state' DMV website online.

You can drive with your license for 6 months. The problem is insurances are expensive so best way to buy a car, make insurance at farmer, pass state driving license and send copy to your insurance company.
