Could you get a driver's license in another country?

To be honest we've reached the end of my expertise but I think that would work. This thread from 2007 says it will work as long as you don't represent a foreign government.

Looking at the current form 605 it still doesn't seem to list any citizenship requirement, only that you do not represent a foreign government.

I think the deciding factor would be whether you can convince the examiner the ID is legitimate.
