You’d need to relocate to a state that allows undocumented residents to drive (e.g., California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Washington).","question":"Can I get a driver license in Ohio without an SSN?"},{"answer":"A standard Ohio state ID is FREE for Ohio residents 17 or older who do not hold a valid driver license; for residents 16 or younger it costs $10 (4-year) or $19 (8-year), and a duplicate is $9. Driver licenses are not free — the BMV lists current license fees on its fee table at bmv.ohio.gov/doc-fees.aspx.","question":"How much do Ohio state ID and driver license cost?"},{"answer":"Proof of full legal name, date of birth, legal presence (USCIS documents such as green card, EAD, or passport + visa + I-94), Social Security number if one was ever assigned, and proof of Ohio street address (two documents from different sources for the compliant Real ID card). See the BMV acceptable-documents lists, available in English and Spanish.","question":"What documents do I need to apply?"},{"answer":"Ohio offers a choice: a compliant (Real ID) card or a standard card, at the same price. The compliant card has a star and works for domestic flights and federal facilities; the standard card does not.","question":"Is the Ohio driver license REAL ID compliant?"}],"generated":"2026-05-25","isBasedOn":"https://bmv.ohio.gov/","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Ohio driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://bmv.ohio.gov/"],"state":"Ohio","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/ohio/"}
