Minnesota driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants. https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/minnesota/","dateModified":"2026-06-28","description":"Minnesota driver license and state ID without an SSN: Driver’s License for All, the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services document list and the REAL ID rules.","disclaimer":"General information, not legal advice. MigrantUSA is an independent publisher and is not a law firm. Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. Minnesota’s ‘Driver’s License for All’ law, effective October 1, 2024, lets residents without permanent legal status get a standard driver license or ID card — it removed the proof-of-legal-presence requirement. No tax return is required, and DVS only requires a Social Security number from people who are eligible for one.","question":"Can I get a Minnesota driver license without an SSN or legal status?"},{"answer":"You present two primary documents, or one primary plus one secondary. Accepted primary documents include an unexpired foreign passport, a certified foreign birth certificate, and an unexpired consular identification card (matrícula) with your photo. A document bearing an ITIN, or a foreign or domestic driver license/ID, counts as a secondary document. Any non-English document needs a certified translation.","question":"What documents do I need?"},{"answer":"No. This is a common and important mistake. If you do not have a Social Security number, tell staff you do not have one — do NOT enter your ITIN when asked for your Social Security number. DVS only requires an SSN from people who are eligible for one.","question":"I have an ITIN — do I enter it where it asks for a Social Security number?"},{"answer":"No — the standard card is printed ‘Not for Federal Identification’ and, since May 7, 2025, cannot be used at airport security or to enter military bases and federal facilities. On privacy: DVS cannot share your application, license, or ID data with agencies that primarily enforce immigration law unless ordered to by a court.","question":"Can I fly with the card, and is my information protected?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://assets.dps.mn.gov/files/dvs/dvs-drivers-license-for-all-fact-sheet_0.pdf","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Minnesota driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://assets.dps.mn.gov/files/dvs/dvs-drivers-license-for-all-fact-sheet_0.pdf","https://assets.dps.mn.gov/files/dvs/dvs-standard-required-docs.pdf","https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/license-and-id/dl-and-id-card-fees","https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs"],"state":"Minnesota","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/minnesota/"}
