How can someone from UK legally drive in the US when on visit or visa?

My boyfriend from UK visits frequently and is looking to get a visa to live here in the US eventually. He has driven here and has no problem with it...only we're scared of the one time he might get caught! lol. How can he become a valid driver here in the US?

Answer:
If he is just visiting he should have no problem using his UK license. If he moves here he just takes the test like other people. Each state probably has an amount of time he can drive on his UK license before he HAS to have a US one. My mum moved from UK and had an international drivers license but it made no difference in AZ, she had to retake the drivers test to get a license. Best to check with the DMV in your state before bothering with that. Oh and if he is driving your car check with your insurance as a friend visiting is he covered?
You can drive in USA with a UK license.
If it will make you feel better, you can get an International Drivers License though.
Most immigrants in UK are Muslims, why those pseudo Britones never touch that point?
LOL
sure! UK... LOL
UK is rainy, cold, foggy, blue, cold... who wants to move there? Sasquatch ? LOL

stay in England!
If you come to America, speak Spanish!
:D
He should have a valid international license first to drive initially anywhere in the US, however DMV rules varies by state, as long as his stay in the country is valid then also his int'l license, however If he is on the benefit of employment petition to work permanently in the US, then he can apply for permanent State license for that purpose, try to check out his respective State's DMV web for clear answers.
he can drive with his UK license only for 2 months in any state in the US but later if he is caught he can goto jail for violating the laws
so i would suggest him to get an international drivers license from UK inorder for him to drive in the US
otherwise, he can goto jail and can be deported back to UK
Because just like that country and many more if you are actually a visitor or visa you can use your countries drivers license. It's just a common courtesy to other countries, plus helps out on tourism.
I really feel he will not have any problems driving in the USA with his UK drivers license as long as is valid,, when he moves here permanently then he will have to get a USA drivers license and apply to all the requirements, I think as long as the car or truck he drives here in the States has registration and insurance in order they should not be a problem,, Good Luck!
