I live in Ohio, but my school is in DC. How do I get my driver’s license?
hi reddit, i need help please. i live in ohio because i just graduated from undergrad in ohio.
my masters program is in a day one cpt school based in dc.
here’s my problem
the ohio bmv wont give me a drivers license because my i-20 is dc based.
the dc bmv won’t give me a drivers license because my residency is in ohio.
i really need to get my drivers license for multiple reasons. should i just move to dc, or is there a way to get around this issue?
thanks guys! i really appreciate everyone who shares because it’s so helping having a community as an f1 student💗💗
