Lawful status is required.","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":"No. Mississippi issues no driver license or ID card to undocumented immigrants. Every applicant must document legal status, and it is verified through the DHS SAVE program before a card is issued.","question":"Can I get a driver license or state ID in Mississippi without lawful status?"},{"answer":"Only if you have one. Mississippi requires an SSN card or an official document showing all nine digits only ‘if applicable’, so the requirement is waived for non-citizens who were never issued an SSN. Diplomatic A-visa holders instead need a U.S. Department of State ineligibility letter.","question":"Do I need a Social Security number if I am a lawfully-present non-citizen?"},{"answer":"An original non-citizen driver license is $24.00 and a 4-year state ID is $17.00 (payment by cash, debit, or credit only). For non-citizens the card is limited-term — valid for your authorized length of stay or no more than 4 years.","question":"How much do the license and state ID cost, and how long are they valid?"},{"answer":"Bring your immigration documents (such as Form I-94, a foreign passport, an EAD/Form I-766, or a green card), a signed application, an original birth certificate, your SSN if you have one, and two proofs of Mississippi residency. A matricula consular is not accepted for a Mississippi license or ID.","question":"What documents do I need, and is a matricula consular accepted?"}],"generated":"2026-06-30","isBasedOn":"https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/Drivers/Non_Citizen","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Mississippi driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/Drivers/Non_Citizen","https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/Security/Non_US_Status_Verification","https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/node/303","https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/Drivers/Identification_Cards","https://www.driverservicebureau.dps.ms.gov/Drivers/Driver_Service_Fees"],"state":"Mississippi","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/mississippi/"}
