Already have license from another country?
awesome you can save your time and money
if you already have a driver’s license from counties like United Staes of America , Australia , England, Canada and New Zealand
then you do not need to worry you can just write a written test and you can get your license converted between these countries even without doing a road test
if you have license from counties like Oman, Dubai, etc.
then you will need to get a letter from embassy of that country (you can find these in Ottawa Canada)to validate your license
you can do it online and have to make payment and you will need to send your original license to them and they will send back it to you with the letter
if you are Indian license holder
you need your license and NOC letter from ministry of trasportaion of state
