Sample instruction permit, graduated license and driver record questions

  1. 1.A student from Oregon takes 12 semester hours at an Arizona college and works part time here. Is the student an Arizona resident for licensing?

    • AYes, because the student has a job here
    • BOnly if the student owns a car here
    • CNo, such a student is not a resident
    • DYes, once a bank account is opened here
    Show the answer

    ✓ C. No, such a student is not a resident

    Working in Arizona usually makes you a resident who needs an Arizona license. The manual makes an exception for out-of-state students enrolled for seven or more semester hours, even if they have a job.
