  • GA Driver's License for L1A Visa holder

    Hi,

    I moved to the Georgia in 2015 on an L1A Visa, and I'm in the process of applying for my green card. I'm an Australian citizen.

    I went to the Georgia Department of Driver Services to get my license where I showed my passport, Visa, I-94 etc. I had to sit a written test, which I passed and then was given an Instructional Driver's Permit, Class CP.

    Until recently, I've never had a problem driving on this license. I have dealt with the police twice (once for expired tags, once for an accident where I was not at fault), and neither of them seemed to care I was on this license. However, a few days ago I went to hire a car at Enterprise Car Rental and their policy doesn't allow them to rent cars to drivers with an instructional permit. Hertz had no problem renting one to me.

    So I was wondering:

    1. What are the benefits (if any) of getting a full C Class license?
    2. Do I have to get a class C license or can I forever drive on my CP class license?

    CP does have an expiry date & certain limitation (for example, you'll need a experienced driver with you all the time).
