What is an out-of-state driver license?

An out-of-state driver license is defined as a license issued to individuals who reside in one state but obtain their license in a different state. This typically occurs when a person has moved from their home state but has not yet updated their driver's license to reflect their new state of residence.

For instance, if someone moves to Utah but has a driver license issued in another state, that license is categorized as an out-of-state license until the individual applies for a Utah driver license. This type of license remains valid for driving purposes within the state but may require conversion to a local license after establishing residency and meeting local requirements.

The other choices do not accurately describe an out-of-state driver license as they focus on licensing specifics that do not align with this definition. A license issued in the state of residence applies to those who obtain their driver's license in the same state they live in, while a temporary license and one applicable only for commercial vehicles do not relate to the residency and licensing dynamics that define an out-of-state license.
