The Work and Family Mobility Act (effective July 1, 2023) lets eligible Massachusetts residents get a Standard (Class D or M) driver license regardless of immigration status; the law removed the requirement to prove immigration status. If you were never issued a Social Security number, you sign an ‘Affidavit of No SSN’ instead — no ITIN or tax return is required.","question":"Can I get a Massachusetts driver license without a Social Security number or legal status?"},{"answer":"Two identity documents: Document 1 is a foreign passport (no visa required) OR a consular identification card (matrícula); Document 2 is a U.S.-state driver license, a foreign birth certificate, a foreign national ID card, a foreign driver license, a marriage certificate, or a divorce decree. Plus the Affidavit of No SSN (if you have no SSN) and one document proving your Massachusetts residential address. Originals only; non-English documents need a certified translation.","question":"What documents do I need (the ‘Option B’ path)?"},{"answer":"No. The Work and Family Mobility Act covers driver licenses only. A Standard Mass ID card still requires proof of lawful presence plus a Social Security number that validates with the SSA (or an SSN Denial Notice with a passport, visa, and I-94). So the undocumented pathway in Massachusetts is the driver license, not the ID card.","question":"Can I get a non-driver Mass ID card without an SSN?"},{"answer":"Under the Work and Family Mobility Act the fees are $30 for the learner’s permit exam, $35 for the road test, and $50 for the Class D license (valid 5 years). A Mass ID card is $25. Temporary lawful-presence applicants may get a license or ID issued for fewer than 5 years, with the fee prorated ($10 per year for a license, $5 per year for an ID).","question":"How much does it cost?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://www.mass.gov/news/registry-of-motor-vehicles-announces-standard-drivers-licenses-regardless-of-immigration-status-available-soon-under-work-and-family-mobility-act","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Massachusetts driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.mass.gov/news/registry-of-motor-vehicles-announces-standard-drivers-licenses-regardless-of-immigration-status-available-soon-under-work-and-family-mobility-act","https://www.mass.gov/doc/standard-drivers-license-acceptable-id-checklist/download","https://www.mass.gov/info-details/real-id-in-massachusetts","https://www.mass.gov/orgs/massachusetts-registry-of-motor-vehicles"],"state":"Massachusetts","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/massachusetts/"}
