What the @#$%

Only US citizen's can drive in the state of Pennsylvania

I certaintly hope that this is not true, maybe there is an acception that I do not know about but accroding the their website:

Proof of U.S. Citizenship

You'll need to prove that you're a U.S. citizen in order to get a driver's license in Pennsylvania by producing one of the below documents. All must be original; photocopies will not be considered valid.

• United States birth certificate with raised seal
  
• Certificate of U.S. citizenship
  
• Certificate of naturalization
  
• U.S. passport
  
• U.S. military photo identification card
  

This really sucks for us.....I was hoping he could get his license some time this year.

Wow, thank you...maybe I should have searched a liitle harder before I flipped.....

[Savanphil 3]

I'm never trusting the PA deparment of Motor Vehicles site again. I didn't even think to go to PENNDOT

Glad you found the correct info, although it would make for pleasant driving in the state of PA if only citizens were allowed to drive.

um, why?

[broma25 2]

Because there would be less cars on the road....sometimes its pretty hair raising driving in PA with the amount of traffic and the way they drive

Savanphil,

It might be worth going into a Driving Licence Center and asking. I filled out all the papers from the PennDot site, only to be told when I got there that I didn't have to, and all they needed was my husbands passport or birth certificate.

Good luck.

Maybe we should have Amish buggy's eh broma?

The way "they" drive? What makes you think US citizens are better drivers than non-US citizens? What a strange comment . . .

[Caladan 19]

Because PA has an immigrant driving problem? That's a new one.

I thought the main problems with driving in Pennsylvania were the aging population, dodging Amish buggies, and the little-known fact that potholes return every year to Pennsylvania to spawn.
