Korean Driver Licenses Validated by Increasing Number of US States

Posted on November 10, 2011 by Mihee

From Korea Times: “Under the new agreement, Korean drivers can acquire a U.S. license by presenting a valid Korean license with proper translation to the motor vehicle authority. The deal only applies to non-commercial motorists and some states require drivers to surrender their Korean license in exchange for a U.S. equivalent. Short-term travelers and exchange students without an International Driving Permit are expected to benefit the most from the changes.” Current states include Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, Massachusetts, and Texas.
