US Driver License Exchange

5 years ago
Although I applied for it on March 19, my Residence Permit card has not arrived yet at SEF Tavira. But I have to travel next week to the US and stay there until beginning of September: Questions: 1) Can I exchange my DL at IMT simply by using my SEF "Recibo Comprovativo" showing that I've applied for Residence Permit? 2) If I cannot complete the DL exchange within 90 days of the date my Residence Permit is finally issued, what is the penalty - fine? Or will I have to take a driver's exam in Portuguese? 3) If the lines are too long at IMT in Faro, where is the next closest IMT that I can go to that would have shorter lines. Thank you.
