Driving in the U.S.
Foreign Driver's Licenses Motorists visiting the United States from countries that have ratified the Convention on Road Traffic (the Convention has been ratified by Denmark), may use their own valid driver licenses to drive in the United States. Visitors who intend to rent an automobile in the United States are advised to obtain an International Driving License prior to their departure from Denmark. An international license can be useful in connection with renting a car or in emergencies such as traffic violations or auto accidents, particularly when a foreign language is involved.
International driving licenses are issued by the Citizen Service Center, "Borgerservicecenter "and must be obtained prior to departure for the United States. For more information, please contact your local Kommune / Borgerservicecenter.
Motorists from Denmark who visit the United States as bona fide tourists, can drive legally using their valid domestic driver license for a period not to exceed one year from date of arrival. Persons entering the United States, other than visitors, must obtain a driving license from the appropriate state authority upon their arrival at their destination. The Embassy does not have any information available concerning the laws of the various States on the requirements for issuance of driving licenses.
As an example of what it takes to get a Tennessee drivers license.
