Many foreign nationals may qualify for a Florida Driver's License or Florida Identification card if they are able to provide specific documents to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). For example, persons with pending U-visa applications, applications for adjustment of status, persons with valid tourist visas, and even people who have an upcoming hearing, can apply for a Driver's License in Florida. Every few months, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) publishes the acceptable documents table listing the types of immigration documents that should be provided to obtain a license or ID card. In addition to the correct immigration document, an applicant will also need to provide proof of identity – usually a passport from their home country, evidence of their social security card (even if marked “valid with work authorization only”) or evidence they were never issued a social, and two proofs of residential address. The applicant must also pass the rules of the road exam and driving test. Be safe out there!
