Will DMV send my newly obtained license to another state?

I just obtained my license from Pennsylvania this last Saturday. They gave me a temporary license and said they'd send my actual license to my address in about 15 business days. My family and I will be leaving this Thursday to vacation in NC for a month or so. My question is: Will the PA DMV send my license to another state? The whole reason I got my driving test done was so that I would be able to drive when we went on vacation. Thank ya much! ^_^Will DMV send my newly obtained license to another state?
No, they will only send it to your permanent address, the one you gave them when you passed your test. You can, of course, drive with the temporary without problem.Will DMV send my newly obtained license to another state?
They'll send the license to the address you gave them. The temp license should be good in any other state, as good as the regular license. I very much doubt that you could persuade the DMV to mail it elsewhere, but you might ask a neighbor or relative to watch for it and forward it to you in NC. If your mail is on hold, I suspect you're stuck with the 15 day temp.Will DMV send my newly obtained license to another state?
Generally states will not send to an out-of-state address unless you specifically apply for an out-of-state drivers license. At this point the best way to ensure you receive your license (since you're going to be out-of-state so long) would be to have a trusted friend or neighbor check your mail for you and forward it to you.



Just be careful, in North Carolina you must carry your drivers license anytime you are operating a motor vehicle. If you get caught without it, even if you do hold a valid license, you may still be charged.
