Before its revival, this thread was 1.5 years old.

What was old, is new again. Any idea for my question though...

A minimum of one year legal presence is required by Pennsylvania law. PennDOT determines the expiration date of products based on your length of stay documents (typically the I-94) along with information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Does that mean she needs to live here for 1 year before even applying for a license?

No.

It means that you need to have proof that you are allowed to stay in the U.S. for at least 1 year at the time you are applying for a license.

In plain English: you will need a Green Card, an EAD card, a work visa, or a student visa valid for at least 1 more year before they will accept your application.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thank you very much.

No. It means she must have documentation showing that she's authorized to be in the United States for at least one more year. If the document she's using to prove lawful presence expires in less than a year then they won't issue a state drivers license to her. California has a similar provision, but they only require proof of at least six months remaining lawful presence.

No. It means that unless you have an immigration status that allows at least a one year stay, you don't qualify to obtain the license.
