I had a NY driver's license for many years , and kept re-newing it the whole time I was in Japan . The family and I went back in 1995 with the plan to live in NH , so I got a NH license . Due to health reasons , we had to return to Japan 6 months later . When the time came to re-new my NH license they wouldn't do it because I no longer had a residence in the state !!! Now , in order to get a NY license ( my parents reside there ; I am still in Japan )
I must take a defensive driver's course and the driving/written test which takes weeks . There just isn't time to do this when we drop in for a visit , so I have NO license now ! And I am an American citizen who had been driving without one single ticket for 30 years !
