    Peeps I have a dilemma. Next year, my company will send me to the US for training. Problem is my license will expire June 2008. Do you know if they have a rule that says that you need to have a license at least 6 months before it expires? I'll be there probably on Feb, Mar or Apr. Training will last 2 months.

    If there's a rule can I renew my license as early as January?

    What license are you talking about? Professional license, driver's license?

    So walang rule na dapat at least 6 months pang itatagal ang lisensya mo. baka kasi magkaipitan at hindi ako makapagdrive demet. ang hahaba pa naman ng mga kalsada doon.

    Hello Sir! I believe you can use your driver's license from abroad just like the privilege we have in the States. Ang Philippine license doon, you can use it ata for a month or two.

    Good day Sir! Why not get an international license at the AAP (Automobile Association Philippines) Office? Mura lang po iyon para di po kayo nag aalala na mag-drive abroad. Their numbers are: 723-0909 or 726-0191. God bless!

    This is correct, at least in CA, ID and WA where I usually stay during my visits to the US.

    Typically, mga 1-2 weeks lang ang duration ng mga biyahe ko sa US. Pero, ang mga engineers namin, who usually stay for 2 months,- Philippine License din lang ang gamit.... Pero pag mas matagal,- we get them their International License.

    Agree. However, the International License will always be referencing your Philippine License, including the latter's expiration date.

    Puwedeng puwede yang driver's license mo. Ang alam ko lang na may six month rule ay ang mga passports.

    I think it depends per state. Check this Google search for the particular state you'll be visiting for guidelines

    Yes! If you are a NON-Resident and 18 yrs old or above you could use you driver license to drive here in United States. You must have your valid DL and your Passport w/ you all the time whenever you operate a (car, suv, van etc)vehicle. You cannot use for driving a hazardous material.

    Yeah I need to drive. Ma-assign ako sa Bayarea and pahirapan ang commute doon. Well for me, pahirapan hehe.

    Sa company din kasi namin hindi uso iyong ihahatid ka ng driver. Usually pagtungtong mo ng airport nandun na nakaabang ang sasakyan mo. Extra work nga lang mangyayari doon sa hindi marunong mag drive. They need to take the Bart and find their way to their hotels.

    ^^^bay area? hinde kaya mas mahirapan ka sa parking? hehehe

    no need to get an international license, u can use your Phil DL, since our DL are in english so no problem yan, ang mga kailangan mag international license eh yun mga nationality na hinde english nakasulat sa DL nila...
