Welcome to Michigan!
As you may have noticed, life in the U.S. can be quite confusing.
Most international newcomers realize that every aspect of their daily routine stops being just that – a routine. Once they arrive in the U.S., they have to relearn the most basic tasks and find answers to questions they never anticipated.
- Is the water safe to drink?
- How do I get to work?
- Where do I get my driver's license?
- Why is my credit history so important?
- How do things work and the doctor's office?
Destination Detroit addresses these questions and many more. It is designed to guide you through the practical aspects of living in Michigan and the Greater Detroit Area.
Why is this guide specific to Michigan?
Laws, traffic rules, and local climate differ from U.S. state to U.S. state. While California residents go to the DMV to get their driver’s license, Michigan residents go to the Secretary of State. A “Michigan Left” may be as new to visitors from Kansas as it may be to any international newcomer.
How can Destination Detroit help me and my family?
Destination Detroit provides step-by-step instructions to help you with those tasks that all international newcomers face upon arrival. Examples are: How to find housing, open a bank account, how to establish a credit history and much more.
In addition, all chapters provide up-to-date Internet links with downloadable forms, company information, and helpful resources for independent research.
By using Destination Detroit, you can prepare for your move even before you leave your home country. All you need is Internet access and a good working knowledge of the English language.
Once in the U.S., Destination Detroit will guide you when interacting with government officials, landlords, and bankers and during everyday tasks like shopping and driving.
