california: I am planning to move to California and become a resident. 1) Is it true that the drivers test there is equivalent to the International driving test used by the UN? In other words, really hard. 2) And if I already have a drivers license from WA state and I am over 18, do I have to take all the test and stuff again? Thanks for the help.|||The government in California is different from the government in WA. Thus, you will be required to take the driving tests thereat although your license in WA will be allowed for a few days there.|||Although every State within the Union; honors other states Driver Licenses, the rule of thumb has always been only with limitations such as: visitations. Residences outside of school and short business requires acquiring a local states driver's license, meaning a drivers test.|||yep plus the written test which is designed for you to fail!|||Nope. It's part of the constitution actually. The full faith and credit clause to be exact. So basically what will happen is if you relocate to California, you will just end up getting a California license when you renew or whatever. My brother moved there from Missouri. You'll be fine.
