Whether you can hire a car likely depends on the rental agency but I
don't see why you would be refused if your international license is valid
My wife and I moved to NC in 2002 from the UK and she was a PR. Each
state is slightly different but in NC she proved 'residence' by showing
a copy of our apartment lease. We didn't try to get the license without
the docs mentioned on the DMV website. I used most of the same documents
to get my own license so the fact that she is a PR didn't really matter
