Can I drive outside of New York State with a junior driver's license?
You may drive outside New York State with your NY State junior learner permit or junior driver license if it is allowed by the laws of the other state
If I don't change my junior license to a senior license
you are subject to the restrictions for junior drivers until you are age 18 , even if you carry the completion certificate with you . You can also give your certificate with your junior permit to the license examiner at your road test
