ok so my dad lives in iowa and i live in rhode island w/ my mom... so since they are not divorced and my dad owns a house in iowa and is considered to be a legal resident could i get my drivers liscence in iowa and still be able to drive leagally in rhode island?
note that the drivers age in iowa is 14 and in ri it is 16-17
Answer:
FYI 14 is the legal age in IA for a PERMIT, drivers license is 16. Sorry!
If you don't meet the minimum age for a state, you can't drive there, even if you have a valid license from another state where the required age is lower.
You are probably a legal resident of wherever you spend more time. If you go to school in RI and stay there for more than 6 months a year, it's probably your legal residence.
The bigger issue is insurance; if you are not of legal age in the State where you are driving, insurance will not be inforce and you would be driving without insurance.
Your MSL (Minor's School Lisence) is very limited even in Iowa and it for going to/from school and schoor extracurricular activities.
It an MSL is only valided during the hours of 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and you can only over the most direct and accessible route between the your residence and school where you are enrolled for school and extracurricular activities within the school district.
Your license would still be valid in Iowa if you are in another State; however, as you are not the legal driving age RI, it would not be valid in that RI even with the limited restrictions of the MSL.
