Eleven states and the District of Columbia enacted laws to allow unauthorized immigrants to obtain a driver’s licenses. ?These states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington—issue a license if an applicant provides certain documentation, such as a foreign birth certificate, a foreign passport, or a consular card and evidence of current residency in the state. Eight of these states extended driving privileges in 2013 and Georgia and Maine enacted more limited laws. Georgia allows a temporary driving permit for legal immigrants with pending visa extensions. Maine exempts certain older or long-term driver’s license holders from the legal presence requirement. In 2014, Alaska passed a law linking a driver’s license expiration date to the visa expiration date.
