First off (not exactly sure about this), I've heard that in some states in the US the minimum age for obtaining a driver's license is 15, and 14 for your permit. If this is true, (please ignore this question and simply correct me if it's not) then would it be possible to obtain your license there at age 15, even though you live in a state that requires an age of 16, and use that license to drive in other states that would normally require the age of 16? I.E. your home state.

I used to live in Tennessee, where you had to be fifteen to get a drivers permit, but I lived on the Kentucky border, where you had to be sixteen to get a permit, many of my cousins that lived in Kentucky said they lived with my grandparents to get their permits early but that was a few years ago, and it's harder now. When I got my license they needed proof of residence for my guardian and my birth certificate or adoption papers saying that they were my guardian and I did live with them. No matter where you GET your license you should be able to drive in any state at any age. So although I lived in Tennessee I could drive in Kentucky although I legally was not allowed to drive in Kentucky at my age. I hope that helps!

You need to get a license in your home state.
Also, you cannot drive in a state if you do not meet the age requirement for that state, even if you have a valid license from another state. For example, if you are 15 and you live in a state where you can get your license, you cannot drive in another state that requires you to be 16 to drive.

You have to go by the rules and laws of your home state. If you have a drivers license and move to another state the new state has laws that requires you to obtain a license in that state. Some state have a specific period. I was a trooper in Ohio and our law states when you become a resident of the state you will get an Ohio drivers license.

Yes - you have to get your license in the state you live in.
If you live in one state (say Virginia) and get a drivers license - and move to another state (say California) you have to go to DMV and get a new license in your state of residence. Brittany Spears was recently in the news because it came out in her child custody state that she still has not changed over to a California license and this is causing problems for her.
Sorry but this is not a loop hole for you to get your license early.

Yes I think you should provide proof of residence which means you should get the license from the state where you live.

You must be able to prove residency to get either a license or permit.
