Getting a drivers license in Florida with a pending AOS.

[Tigerlily87 40]

I am currently out of status and I have received multiple conflicting reports as to how I can obtain a Florida drivers license. The official site looks like I need to wait for my E A.D., however I have seen some people on different forums suggest you can do it with just receipts. I’d love some guidance on this

Yes, that’s what I was looking at and from the looks of it I can’t do it until I get my EAD.  I’m just confused

Correct, that is what it appears. Most places you need a valid form of ID that shows you are legally in the country

 

1. Primary Identification

An original of one of the following documents with complete name:

• Valid employment authorization card issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) form I-688B or I-766;
• Non-expired proof of non-immigrant classification provided by DHS form I-94 with required supporting attachment(s). If a customer is unsure of the required documentation, they should bring all United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) documentation with them.
  I-94s must be accompanied by a valid passport with a date of entry stamp. Certain classifications require additional documentation. Some examples are:

   

  • F-1 and M-1 classification must be accompanied by an I-20;
  • J-1 or J-2 designation must be accompanied by a DS2019;
  • Refugee, asylee and parolee classifications must be accompanied by additional documentation;
• I-571 travel document/refugee travel permit;
• I-512 parole letter accepted; or
• Immigration judge’s order granting asylum or cancellation of removal.

Yeah I’ve just seen a few saying you can do it with receipts so I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with that because the people who have told me that don’t seem to be willing to offer up theirs LOL thank you though

I got my Florida license no problem. Just my Canadian passport was needed and needed to surrender my Ontario license. However they didn’t take it from me.
