I'm in Massachusetts, and just got my SSN after getting my work authorization. I'm planning on going to the RMV to convert my Canadian driver's license, and the website lists requirements which include a driver's record not more than 30 days old. What I'm uncertain about is whether they want my FULL driver's record? Or a 3-year record? Or 5-year, etc.? The Ontario service website has a long list of every possible driver's record, with different costs, and I don't want to get the most expensive one, if all I need is the simple 3-year record. Has anyone else gone through this process? Is it just best to go with the full record, and just play it safe?

I would contact the DMV and see exactly what they want. I didn't have to do anything other than fix my SAVE db to get my Colorado license. They just switch it over here.

I did it at the Mass RMV, but I had a full driver history/record. I would give them a call and ask, the wait can be long in person... Though, the clerk was nice at the Roslindale office when I went to switch my license and car registration - I think it's the closest to JP.

Huh ... interesting. Anyone with a B.C. licence doesn't have to retest in WA. It was awesome.

I was prepared, though, with an ICBC driver's abstract and claims record for insurance. State Farm asked for neither.

Yeah it was fantastic! I just came in and swapped one license for the other! So nice after hearing some of the frustrating things other states make people struggle through.
