Hello All,
I have a question regarding converting my US Drivers license to a Japanese one and maybe a bit of a problem. I am an American citizen and I am going to be moving to Japan next month.
I got my license in Massachusetts in 2023, then moved to Hawaii shortly after and never got a Hawaii license. I see that you need to prove 3 months living in the place you got your license, I did not live in Massachusetts for 3 months. I did live in the USA and drove for more than 3 months though. I have bank statements to a Massachusetts address, but I do not know if that will be enough. I have lived in Hawaii for 2 years, but if I convert my license to a Hawaii one the issue date would be within 3 months of entering Japan. Am I SOL or is the fact I lived in the states, albeit a different state, enough to be able to get my license? I am having difficulty finding the answer to this question.
