Banking and Getting Around as an International Student in the USA:
The processes for getting a driver’s license and opening a bank account in the USA can differ depending on your state and the bank’s policies. Here’s a general overview:
Getting a Driver’s License:
- Visit Your Local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV): This is where you’ll apply for your license.
- Prepare Documents: Bring identification documents (passport, visa), proof of residency (utility bill, school enrollment confirmation), and be ready to pay any fees.
- Pass the Tests: You might need to pass a written knowledge test and a practical driving skills test.
Opening a Bank Account:
- Visit a Local Bank Branch: Each bank may have slightly different requirements.
- Documents Required: Generally, you’ll need your passport, visa, and proof of your US address (like a utility bill or school enrollment confirmation).
