Congrats.

Why did you wait to get a DL - you don't need a SSN for that.

Beside that good luck:)

Yes, in California a person is required by law to provide a valid social security number to obtain a drivers license

.The California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to collect your social security number (SSN). (CVC §§1653.5(a)(b), 12800(a), 12801) Federal law also allows any state to use a person's SSN for the purpose of establishing his/her identification. (42 U.S.C. §405©(2)©(I)

IF you have one, then you are required by law to provide it.

According to this, you do not need one.

http://igateways.sjsu.edu/driving-california

Steps for applying for a Driver's License:
  1. You do not need a Social Security Number (SSN) in order to apply for a California Driver's License. You will need to get a letter from the Social Security office that verifies you do not need a SSN.

IF you have one, then you are required by law to provide it.

According to this, you do not need one.

http://igateways.sjsu.edu/driving-California

He overstayed his tourist visa nearly 7 years ago, so he is unable to obtain a DL in California and unable to obtain a letter from SS office stating he does not need a SS number. The only exemption from the law is if someone is here legally and able to provide a letter from SS office that they can't obtain a DL. You have to either present a social security number or this letter from SS office with documents that you are in the US legally, visa not expired.

All customers applying for an original DL/ID card must provide evidence of legal presence in the United States as authorized under federal law.

  • If you were born in the United States (U.S.) or become a U.S. citizen, you are eligible for an SSN, and must provide it to DMV.
  • If you are not a U.S. citizen, but in the United States legally and authorized to work, you are eligible for an SSN, and must provide it to DMV.
  • If you are not a U.S. citizen, but in the United States legally and are not authorized to work, you are not eligible for an SSN.

So he got his DL or he didnt cause he overstayed 7 years ago?

doesnt sound fair
