All US states give "full faith and credit" to driver's licenses from other US states for temporary visits.
However, if you're actually moving to Kansas (and aren't in the military), you'll need to get a Kansas driver's license; you can't just keep using your Alaska one (if you are in the military, different rules may apply).
I'm not positive about Kansas/Alaska specifically, but generally it's not necessary to retake the driving portion of the exam, just the written portion to ensure that you're familiar with Kansas driving laws.
None. Does not work that way.
No, you must have a valid State Drivers License.
Doesn't work that way. You start from square one.
It will depend on your state law and why your license is suspended.
Legally you can only possess a drivers license/permit from the state in which you RESIDE. Therefore, you may work in another state but you can only have a license from your HOME state.
Not legally.
only a drivers license
You get your license where you live and get your mail.
If you want to be a rig hand, you will probably not need a drivers license. I work in the water well drilling industry, and we hire laborers without drivers licenses to work in the shop and on the rigs.
no , not required
Yes, your driver's license is good throughout the United States.
Only for identification purposes. Not for driving.
