To sign license, form both hands into 'L' shapes with your index fingers pointing straight up and your thumbs pointing toward each other. Hold your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing forward, bringing them together so the tips of your thumbs touch. Finally, pull your hands slightly apart horizontally to outline the rectangular shape of a small card.
To sign this, you would first sign 'DRIVE' by mimicking holding a steering wheel, followed by the sign for 'LICENSE'. Finish with 'I RECENTLY GET' while showing an excited facial expression.
Point to the person to sign 'YOUR', then sign 'LICENSE'. Finish by signing 'SEE' moving from your eyes toward them, raising your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question.
Start by pointing to yourself for 'I', sign 'NEED', and then sign 'LICENSE'. You can follow this up with the sign for 'AGAIN' or 'RENEW' to complete the thought.
