You are studying in New York State. and Do you need a New York State driver's license?
Yes
Students from other states, countries, or nations who attend school in New York State are not normally considered New York State residents, so they do not need to exchange their current driver's license.
That's great to hear! Another issue concerned the police's MV-78B form. May I just waive the charge in that situation, because my license was revoked as a result of a crime?
