Driving Permit in Seattle, Washington State
Hello Group
I am 'visiting' US for a brief period of 3 months. I hold an INDIAN Driving License. May I know whether it is permissible to drive in Washington using my INDIAN driving license. I do not have an INTERNATIONAL Driving Permit. My INDIAN Driving license is in English. Any links to US Gov websites would be helpful ! Please let me know Thanks Sada

Can you obtain an international driver license? It's essentially a translation of your driver license to English. Since your license is already in English this would not be necessary. Any links to US Gov websites would be helpful ! Driver license is controlled by the State, not the US Government. You want to check this web site: http://www.dmv-department-of-motor-v...r_vehicles.htm It appears that as long as you are older than 16 with a valid license you can drive legally for one year on your Indian license. Please let me know Thanks Sada
