What happens if you drive with a license from a different state in Rhode Island?
What happens if I get stopped and only have my old state license (North Carolina)? I've lived in the state for a little over a month but haven't had time to get my license changed yet.

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“According to the state, new residents in
Rhode Island
have up to 30 days to obtain a new driver’s license. Since you still have a valid driver’s license from another state, it’s unlikely you would be issued a citation, but may be asked to change your license immediately if stopped for a traffic violation.
Along with your license, make sure that you change your vehicle registration and
car insurance
, which you should carry with you while driving at all times.”View full answer
