Obtaining a driver's license in the USA is an important step for those who want to move comfortably around the country. The procedure may vary depending on the state, but the general requirements and stages remain similar.

🔹 Step-by-step process for obtaining a driver's license

🔹 Features for immigrants and temporary residents
