如果你刚到美国

你会先拿到一张临时纸质驾照或身份证，在正式卡片邮寄到手之前先用它。
如果你外州的驾照已经过期
过期不满 5 年的驾照仍然可以转换。过期满 5 年或以上，你必须通过学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）考试——只在 Cranston 办事处进行，且需要预约——并通过路考。
如果你没有可转换的驾照
你必须通过学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）考试和路考。许可考试只在 Cranston 办事处进行，并且需要预约。
你的社会安全号码（SSN）

车管局（DMV）只在联邦法律要求的范围内收集社会安全号码和税务识别号码。号码不会出现在你的驾照上，无论是电子形式还是印在卡面上。
要参加的考试
视力检查
考试过程中会检查你的视力。
路考
以下情况必须参加：从未在任何州持有过驾照、持外国驾照，或你的罗得岛州或外州驾照已过期超过 5 年。某些身体状况限制也要求参加路考。
笔试能考几次
如果你的学习驾驶许可已过期两年或以上，你必须重新参加学习驾驶许可考试。
如果没通过，至少要等 8 天才能重考。
笔试练习题
考试考的是 Rhode Island Driving Manual（罗得岛州驾驶手册）里的技能和知识。
认真读 Rhode Island Driver's Manual（罗得岛州驾驶员手册），为电脑机考笔试做准备。
使用翻译
翻译由你自己负责，他们在考试车辆内的一切责任也由你承担。
路考当天带什么
考试用车和保险
路考不能用租来的车。同样禁止：摄像头或录像设备、老爷车、低速车辆，以及宠物。
你可以开自己的车，也可以使用州里提供的双控制车辆。如果你考的是职业司机驾照（chauffeur license）、只打算开自动挡，或因身体残疾需要特殊改装的车辆，就必须自带车辆；残疾申请人还可以选择在离家最近的车管局（DMV）办事处考试。
考官会先检查车辆——有效的罗得岛州（RI）注册和车牌、有效的 RI 年检贴、转向灯、大灯、刹车灯、双闪灯、轮胎、能摇下来的车窗，以及遮阳膜或后加装的车窗贴膜——只要有一项不合格，考试还没开始这趟就结束了。车龄不满 2 年且里程低于 24,000 英里的车辆不需要年检贴。
路考可以用你自己提供的车，也可以用州里提供的双控制车辆。
去哪里办
谁来监考
路考由车管局（DMV）的考官主持。考试在封闭场地进行，考官在车外观察，不会坐在车里陪你。
