Hi, I would like to know if I have a driver's license from another country and I have a New York State learner's permit, can I drive without a supervising driver?
================
Yes. Your valid foreign driver's license allows you to drive without a supervising driver. You can drive on any street, highway, highway, bridge or tunnel, except in a DMV road test area.
In what language is your license printed?
Yes
If your driver's license is printed in any language except English, you must submit an International Driving Permit or a certified translation of your driver's license to the test drive. The translation must be certified by a consulate, the United States Department of State or another official agency.
================
okay. and if my visit is extended what should I do?
If your temporary visitor status has been extended, you should go to a DMV office with your updated documentation from the United States Department of Homeland Security DHS. We will update our records to show that your Temporary Visitor status has been extended so that you can renew your license. Your new license will have your new temporary visitor expiration date.
================
and how long will the license last?
Your new license will have your new temporary visitor expiration date.

What will happen to my foreign license?
When you pass your driving test, you must turn in your foreign driver's license to the DMV driving test examiner. The local DMV office will destroy your foreign driver's license after 60 days.

If someone has a New York State learner's permit and does not have a valid foreign driver's license, what can they do?
New York state law requires a supervising driver to travel with you. The supervising driver must be 21 years of age or older and must have a valid driver's license to operate the vehicle they drive.
