Non-citizens who are work-authorized still must provide their SSN.","question":"Do F-1 students or dependents need a Social Security number for a Kansas driver license?"},{"answer":"No. Kansas has no program for undocumented residents. Every non-U.S. citizen is processed through the federal SAVE program before a license or ID is issued, and immigration documents are required at every issuance — including each renewal.","question":"Can I get a Kansas driver license without lawful immigration status?"},{"answer":"A valid Permanent Resident Card (I-551), a valid Employment Authorization Card, an I-20 or DS-2019 for foreign students, or a valid visa with a valid foreign passport. An unexpired I-94 or I-797A with a foreign passport also works. The document must show your date of birth, identity, and lawful status.","question":"Which documents prove lawful status at a Kansas Division of Vehicles office?"},{"answer":"The driver license fee is $16.00 and the identification card fee is $12.00. A replacement license is $16.00, and a printed renewal version is $2.00.
