Permit

 

Usually new residents can for a while which varies by State. Some are more generous than others.

Another point to clarify on California in particular.  Frequently when people say "international driving license" they are referring to an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued as a translation of a foreign drivers license.   California specifically does NOT recognize IDP's but California does accept actual foreign driver's licenses.

IDP is a translation, back in the day when I needed one you took both.

Make sure you check all the requirements so you do not make unnecessary tripS to the DMV. ( Said a woman who thought her husband’s official documents arriving through the mail will be sufficient: nope). You have plenty free tests online. Start yesterday. ( Yup, the same woman)
