(Similarly, an appeals court ruling on the question would bind all the states in that court's circuit.) So it is likely that the situation in Georgia has no bearing on the situation in Pennsylvania. | |

The reason for the surrender is so you don't pull out the foreign licence if you have a violation/accident, knowing it is unlikely to ever reach your home country and keep your US one clear. | |

| Sep 5, 2016 at 20:31 | comment | added | Joachim Breitner | I am not certain, but I have been warned by some who had to turn in their German license, some years ago. I guess I can say more in a few days, after visiting the place. | |
| Sep 5, 2016 at 19:39 | comment | added | Giorgio | Are you certain that that is the exact process? Generally, the valid foreign-issued driving license is accepted as proof of being granted the right to drive, and the State road test is waived. It is licenses from other US states which have to be surrendered. | |
