If you have a valid driver's license from another state or Canada and have moved to Michigan, visit a Secretary of State office and:

• Present documentation of a valid Social Security number or letter of ineligibility, U.S. citizenship or legal presence if not a U.S. citizen, identity and Michigan residency

• Take a vision test and pass the physical standards

• Have your photograph taken

• Pay a $25 fee and obtain a Temporary Operator's Permit.  The TOP allows you to drive until your Michigan driver's license arrives in the mail.

(A written test is required for anyone converting an out-of-state license with a hazardous materials endorsement.)

Individuals with a valid out-of-state operator's license applying for a Michigan chauffeur's license, Commercial Driver License or a motorcycle endorsement, or whose license has been expired for at least four years, must pass the required written or driving skills tests before a license can be issued.
