Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","faqs":[{"answer":"Yes, with lawful presence. Florida requires proof of legal presence and has no driver-license program for undocumented residents. Lawfully present non-citizens — green-card holders, asylees, refugees, and non-immigrant visa holders — can apply, and the card is issued for the period on your USCIS document, not to exceed one year.","question":"Can an immigrant get a Florida driver license or ID card?"},{"answer":"Primary identification such as a valid Employment Authorization card (I-766) or a non-expired I-94 with supporting documents, plus proof of a Social Security number (if you have one) and two proofs of Florida residential address. F-1 or M-1 students bring an I-20; J-1 or J-2 bring a DS-2019. Non-immigrants here without a work visa do not need an SSA refusal letter.","question":"What documents does a non-immigrant need in Florida?"},{"answer":"An original or renewal Class E driver license is $48 and an ID card is $25. A $6.25 service fee may apply at a tax collector office. Non-U.S. citizens applying for a first driver license get a 60-day temporary paper permit; the card is mailed within 60 days after verification.","question":"How much does a Florida driver license or ID card cost?"},{"answer":"Usually yes, but under SB 1718 (2023) certain out-of-state licenses issued exclusively to undocumented immigrants who could not prove lawful presence are not valid in Florida. The state specifically lists Connecticut ‘Drive Only (DO)’ and Delaware ‘Driving Privilege Only’ classes. A regular out-of-state license issued to someone with lawful presence remains valid.","question":"I have an out-of-state license — is it valid to drive in Florida?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/what-to-bring/non-immigrant/","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Florida driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/what-to-bring/non-immigrant/","https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/visiting-florida-faqs/sb1718/","https://www.flhsmv.gov/fees/"],"state":"Florida","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/florida/"}
