Hi All

 

I’ve timed moving to MA terribly with the new rules on everyone now being able to apply for a driving license. Basically, I’m trying to find out how long I can drive on my UK license as an IR/1 holder. I’m awaiting an appointment to get my permit but the wait seems insane with no timeframe on when I’ll be able to get it, I’m just in an endless queue. 
 

Any help is appreciated!

A quick google seems to suggest new residents have 30 days.

This reference says you have 30 days to get a DL once you move to Mass.

Yeah I saw this, but the term ‘advises’ made me unsure if that means you must have it by the 30 days. I’m trying, just with the current situ in MA it seems a bit harsh.

Some states only allow 10 days for a USC to do this and GA does not transfer from state to state but Makes all  take a new written and eye test

 

it doesn't mean u have to have it within 30 days /its more like u have 30 days to do it to drive and if u can't do it within that time,  u can't drive till its done
