Summary

The law lets applicants who cannot speak or read English take the written driving test in another language, but only issues a one‑year, non‑renewable restricted license for limited travel to school, work, or medical appointments. After that year, the driver must retake the written test in English without any aids. It also requires anyone registering a vehicle to prove they are a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or have a federally authorized temporary stay.
