| Sep 8, 2016 at 2:29 | comment | added | Joachim Breitner | Thanks for the research! Since I will travel abroad at least once a year, this means I’ll just keep my German license, and apply for a non-drivers’ license ID for ID purposes. | |

Compare it to the same privilege given to Americans in Germany: they can obtain a German license and their US license is not surrendered. | |
| Sep 6, 2016 at 14:03 | comment | added | Joachim Breitner | Right, I did find that text (and already printed it out so that when I go there, I have something to point to). But it is not completely clear, as @TheWanderingDevManager points out. | |
| Sep 6, 2016 at 12:43 | comment | added | The Wandering Dev Manager | Uh, yes it does- "allowing for the transfer of a valid non-commercial driver’s license " transfer as in you transfer from the foreign licence to the US one, you don't get the US one in addition. | |
