K-1 Visa & Driving in the US

Thinking about getting a driver's license for your fiancé(e) on a K-1 visa? Here's the deal:

  • State-by-State Rules: Each state has its own laws for K-1 visa holders getting licenses.

  • Documents Needed: Passport, visa, arrival record, proof of residency (like a lease) are common requirements, but extra documents might be needed depending on the state.

  • Social Security Number: Some states require it, so your fiancé(e) might need to apply for one if they don't have it already.

  • Tests: Written and driving tests might be required to show they can drive safely.

Important Note: K-1 visas are temporary, so some states might have extra rules.

Before You Apply:

  • Contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to confirm their specific requirements and application process. They'll have the latest info!
