You just moved to Pennsylvania and hold a valid out-of-state driver's license. Within how long must you get a Pennsylvania license?
-
A.
Six months
-
B.
30 days
-
C.
60 days Correct
-
D.
90 days
The answer is "60 days"
Pennsylvania gives new residents 60 days after moving to obtain a PA license and surrender the out-of-state one. Drivers coming from a state with a 30-day new-resident deadline reach for B, and six months or 90 days are the numbers people pick when they recall a longer relocation grace period.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Six months
Six months is far past the manual's 60-day deadline for new residents. This answer confuses the license deadline with the longer grace period some states allow for vehicle registration or inspection after a move.
B. 30 days
The manual gives new residents 60 days, not 30. This answer applies the 30-day new-resident window used by some other states rather than Pennsylvania's 60-day rule.
D. 90 days
The manual's deadline is 60 days after moving to Pennsylvania, not 90. This answer reaches for the three-month grace period some other states allow relocators, instead of Pennsylvania's 60 days.
