Ohio License with Green Card?

[Rlewis 73]

Hi,

When obtaining a Ohio DL, am I able to get a full license (not permit) with a GC? I am a Canadian DL holder. I tried reading on the BMV site and it doesn't seem to specify if any tests had to be done. It only said that GC holders will be issued a regular DL.

 

Thanks!

My wife had to get the permit, take written and driving tests and then get the license.  That was 7 years ago so maybe not the latest.

Wow, how long was she on the permit until she was able to get the full license? Did she have to do the who new driver restrictive learners and all that ?

it took 3 weeks to get her first test scheduled. She hit a cone so had to redo that part.  Then hit the cone again so we needed to do another 8 hours driving with me before she could test again. Third time we switched testing locations to west side of Cincinnati and she passed.  All totaled it was almost 4 months.
