Can China driver's license be used in USA?

I mean what if you are a U.S. citizen but you get a driver's license from China. Can that driver's license from China be used in USA without having to take and pass the written or road tests in USA again? If you have to take the tests in the USA again, would the test contents be kind of similar to that of China's? Thanks.

According to our experience, most states using a Chinese driver's license if visiting the U.S. for a short stay with an English translation of the Chinese license.

Few states do not accept a Chinese driver's license but require foreign travelers to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) or International Driving License (IDL) in addition to a valid license from their own country. There are only a few states who enforce this rule, including:

• Arkansas
• Georgia
• Hawaii
• Kentucky
• Michigan
• New Jersey
• Texas
• Vermont

Please contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in the state you plan to visit to make sure you can legally drive in that territory with a Chinese driver’s license. Alternatively, it’s possible to check directly with a car rental company in the state you are planning to visit.

How long can you drive with a Chinese license in USA?

Those who are planning to obtain a U.S. residence permit and live permanently in the United States are required to get a driver's license from the state where they will live. Those who travel to the United States with a B1/B2 visa after completing an EVUS form will have to keep in mind the following time restrictions for driving in certain U.S. states. Age restrictions are also included, if applicable.
