How would getting your drivers license in a foreign country work


How would getting your drivers license in a foreign country work?
If I had a suspended license here in the U.S., but decided to go to Peru,(or,where ever) and became a citizen, would I be able to apply to get a drivers license, with out having to deal with all the hassle of having to get it re-invoked if I was to continue staying in the U.S.?

yes you would be able to get your license there without hassle regarding your US drivers license.

Yes you can get a license in a foreign country independent of your US license status. Yes you can get an international license good in most countries independent of your US license status. If I understand your question correctly, would that then give you a clear US license for use in the USA. Yes, and no. The international license would be generally honored if you are a foreign national in the USA, but may or may not be honored if you are living in the USA, depending on state and court should you be stopped. What works abroad is to always have an International license, and if stopped abroad and your license is taken, you lose nothing by the official taking it and can obtain another. To live in the USA you need a current address state license, the internatinal license or foreign license only allows you some wiggle room to tiddy up your papers upon return mostly on kindness of heart of the officials here in the USA.
