Driver licenses are:

Driver licenses are:

• A. Issued by the federal government
• B. Issued by local municipalities
• C. Issued by private companies
• D. Issued by the state government

Answer: (D)

Licenses to operate a vehicle are issued by the state government through the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (or an equivalent agency). The federal government doesn’t issue driver licenses, and local municipalities or private companies don’t have the authority to issue them. The state handles the testing, age verification, vision checks, and licensing process, setting the rules you must meet to drive legally in that state. Your license is issued by the state where you meet those requirements, and if you move to a new state you’ll typically need to obtain a new license from that state.
