DKP! I am not sure if you are asking just temporary or eventually becoming permanent. Here are two websites: MVA/MD and DMV.org. Hope that helps.http://www.dmv.org/articles/driving-out-of-state-with-a-learner-permit/

DKP, Not sure what you are looking for. If you are asking if it is legal for a person with an out of state learner's permit to drive in Maryland I would say that it is, if they are abiding by the Maryland law in regard to operating with a LP (being accompanied by a licensed driver over 21 with 3 years experience) and that their home state is a member of the Interstate Driver's License Compact, currently only Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin do not belong.
Keep your learners in your own state please, we have enough of them in MD.

Thanks for the input. I checked the MD MVA website. Out-of-state learner's permits are not recognized in the state of MD. Nephew was disappointed.

This thread makes me think of the time my daughter went for her drivers test in order to graduate from her learners to her provisional license. She said the instructor was still shaking his head when he got into the car with her and he told her the following story.
He said he failed the guy who tested just before her. It seems that the kid nearly killed them all at one of the intersections as he did a left turn without yielding to oncoming traffic. Once they managed to make it alive and the instructor had him pull to the side of the road he asked the kid what in the hell he was thinking. the kid replied, "I'm from Calvert County. I don't know this intersection." The instructor replied, "That shouldn't matter! Your license will be good for 50 states and you dayum well don't know all their intersections!"

Can you link that page I would like to read what it says.

Seems correct. Your nephew (assuming he's moving to MD) will have to apply for a MD learners first.

In that case, a license is a license, including a learner's permit. You are able to drive anywhere with it.

NO, it is NOT. You cannot drive out of state with a learner's permit. Should he get caught driving, he will lose his permit.

NOT TRUE! It's a learner's permit for a reason, learn to drive in your own state. When I had my learners, that was the law. I'm sure they've only gotten stricter since then.

I found this too, Chasey. MD has a check mark beside it, so I guess it's okay. :shrug:
I guess I'll find out, if we get pulled over this weekend. One problem though; the website is four years old.
:fixed:
