It is only for foreign Delaware residents who cannot produce legal presence. You must have an ITIN or a Social Security number (the Division of Revenue certification carries it), and you must prove you filed a Delaware tax return — or were claimed as a dependent — for the two most recent consecutive tax years.","question":"Can I get a Delaware driver license without an SSN or legal status?"},{"answer":"For name and date of birth, ONE of: a valid, unexpired foreign passport, or a valid, unexpired consular identification document. For Mexican nationals, an approved alternate is the Mexican Federal Electoral Card (IFE/INE). Expired documents cannot be used; all documents must be valid originals or certified copies. You also need two proofs of Delaware residency, each postmarked by USPS within the last 60 days. Minors also provide an original and translated foreign birth certificate.","question":"What documents do I need?"},{"answer":"The DPC bears ‘Driving Privilege Only’ and ‘Not Valid for Identification’ on its face — it is not a valid form of identification and not accepted by federal agencies for official purposes. The application fee is $20 plus a $72 SBI fingerprinting/identity-validation fee, and the card is valid 4 years (Class D driving privileges only; no commercial license).","question":"What does the card look like and what does it cost?"},{"answer":"Step one is an online SBI fingerprint appointment at uenroll.identogo.com (service code 27S424). The Delaware DMV states it does not report DPC information to USCIS and is not in the business of deportation.","question":"How do I start, and is my information shared?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://dmv.de.gov/DriverServices/drivers_license/DPC/index.shtml","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Delaware driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://dmv.de.gov/DriverServices/drivers_license/DPC/index.shtml","https://revenue.delaware.gov/driving-privilege-card/","https://dmv.de.gov/DriverServices/drivers_license/DPC/pdfs/DPC_Requirement.pdf","https://dmv.de.gov/DriverServices/drivers_license/DPC/pdfs/DPCBrochureEN.pdf"],"state":"Delaware","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/delaware/"}
