DRIVERS' LICENSES

Some States have afforded expansive provisions allowing applicants who do not have a Social Security number (SSN) to submit alternatives such as a tax ID for a driver’s license, or have expanded the list of documents that can be used by applicants to prove their identity such as foreign passports or foreign identity documents.

Some states have also considered creating a temporary driver’s license for applicants who are not lawfully in the U.S.

Immigrants Driver's License

Eleven states currently allow immigrants to obtain a driver’s license regardless of their immigration status, e.g., Maine allows applicants without a Social Security Card to obtain a driver’s license if the driver can show that he is ineligible for a Social Security Card.
