Taiwanese nationals living in the US state of Kentucky will soon be able to obtain state driver’s licenses if they are already licensed to drive in Taiwan. That was the word from the foreign ministry on Saturday.

Taiwan’s representative office in Atlanta signed an agreement with Kentucky authorities that will allow eligible Taiwanese drivers resident in the state to swap their Taiwanese licenses for local ones. No written test or driving test will be required. Under the reciprocal agreement, licensed Kentucky drivers resident in Taiwan will also be eligible for a local license.

Kentucky is the 21st US state to sign a license recognition agreement with Taiwan. Taiwan, meanwhile, is the first overseas government to recognize Kentucky licenses on a reciprocal basis.    [SOURCE]
