Nevada Drivers license

Can I have an Alberta and a Nevada drivers license

When I received my Texas permit they took my Ontario one.

No, you can't have 2 driver's licenses. In most states and provinces it is illegal to keep your old out of state/province license so they'll take it and destroy it in most places.

Why? Do you want to buy a firearm? Just go to a gun show. I personally dont believe in handgun ownership, but whatever floats your boat.

What does a gun have to do with it?

Before moving to South Carolina, I had a California licence. the state never took my Ontario licence, so I had two.

When I got my South Carolina licence, again the state never took my Ontario licence. I specifically asked if they wanted it, and was told that since it is out of country, I am welcome to keep it.

FYI South Carolina didn't require any testing at all as they have reciprocity with Ontario, California made me do all the testing (written and road)

The Nevada DMV will take your Canadian license, the local office here keeps mine in their safe for when I return to Canada, the thought is that when I return to Canada I will trade in my Nevada License for my Canadian one (unless my Canadiann license is expired by then). They will make you go through a written and driving test (if you have never taken one in the United States). I had a major arguement with the DMV about my elegibilty for a NV license (I am on a TN), so if there are issues, let me know and I will give you the contact information for the people in Carson City to clarify things. Also the NV license will only be valid until the expiry of your I-94/Visa, luckilly it is less than $25 to renew your license here.

Because you must be a resident of the State in order to acquire a handgun. However there were new rules introduced a few years ago that apply to non-immigrant aliens, simply getting a DL doesn't cut it anymore, you have to prove you have lived in the State for at least 90 days (utility bills, etc.) plus you must have a hunting licence issued by any State.

Legally you cannot have two DLs, nor is it wise to do so as the IRS and the CRA consider a DL a residential tie, so if you have a DL in Canada and the US technically you could be taxed twice if they found out about it.

Nevada is really tough on issuing DLs to anyone, more so for aliens. They don't even recognise DLs issued by States that have less restrictive standards than them, so if you have a Texas DL, they expect you to take the test all over again.

Can you help? I just been to DMV at Las Vegas, NV and they are telling me that I need to go through the whole written and skill tests to obtain a NV driver license even though I have my Ontario driver license for 15 years. Can I transfer the Canadian Dirver license with NV driver license?
Pleas let me know. Thanks.
