For myself I think it's just a waste of money to apply for an international license if you wanna drive in US. If you are coming here as a student then come here and take the driving test. It's very very easy if you have been driving in M'sia. :)

:lol: some ppl lazy to retake test again kua...

i did mine at jpj. pnly valid for 6 months. the license valid for us also

For short time of period u can apply the international licence through JPJ or AAM HQ in K.L.

If u are study or work there for more than 1 year, then i suggest u take a driving test there. Its pretty easy actually....
Good luck.. :lol:

FYI some states or maybe all states in US dont recognize International License. You'll get a ticket regardless if you're stopped by cops. My advice, save the trouble and get one when you're there. They procedure is pretty simple and you might get it done in less than half a day, depends how busy they are. I got mine done in less than 1 hour. Good Luck! ;)

I second that, and the insurance company won't insure you for long if you're using international license. They want you to take the local driving test, regardless.

You CAN drive with your M'sian license there for two months. Heck you can even get a new car with it. But the insurance company will terminate your policy if you don't show them local d/l after 2 months.

Speaking from experience here.

Also, different states in the US have different driving rules. I guess that's why every state issues their own d/l. Yes, you'll need to change your d/l if you move from one state to another.

are you sure its not because they give some leeway since they won't fully expect you to know the local driving rules etc?

you will need a state driving license in US as a picture ID. it's comparable to our IC in msia. unless you get the state ID from the state building in the capitol of the state you'll be in. get a driving license there. less hassle than an international license. and your msian driving license, with a proper translation (endorsed by notary public or certified translation) will be helpful to let you drive for 6 months in US as well as assist you in getting a US state driving license. because eventually you'll need a certified translation to waive the driving tenets classes the americans took during their high school years. also, you need a US state driving license to get insurance for your car if you buy one in US. years ago in the state of kentucky, you just need to bring ur malaysian license with a certified translation to the BMV/DMV and you can get a KY state drvg license immediately.

you can get a US license for only USD10 for 3 years....

first is the "undang-undang" test (they mark it on the spot), which u can take 2 times in a day if u fail the first time they will give u another set of questions and do it again immediately... if u fail the second time, you need to go home can come back some other day....

if pass, then u need your own/friend's car to take the road test (auto car also can take the test)... if pass, take photo and your license and state ID will be ready in less than 15 minutes... (yes, u can get everything in less than 2 hours..... that's what i call efficiency!!!)

this is for the state of Illinois.

I have converted my licence to english translate in australia, BUT cost me 58AUD for just a simple copy of A4 paper...!!!

The validity will refer to your malaysia driving licence due date, thats all... If your due date is still long days to go, then u worth it la...

I used to ask AAM, they quoted me international licence for $ 2++ a year if I m not mistaken...
