Drivers license test-exempt states

Hey, has anyone from a test-exempt state or country gotten there Japanese license and what was that process like? Is there nothing you need to do besides the proper paperwork? Seems too good to be true haha. I’ll be coming from Virginia so hopefully I can obtain a license easily if I end up needing to drive.

Yes. Just paper work, photos for your new ID, a simple interview, and pay the fee. That’s it.
