Undocumented Immigrants in New Jersey Can Receive Driver’s Licenses

Residents of New Jersey are now eligible to apply for driver’s licenses in the state of New Jersey regardless of an undocumented immigration status.

Applications for the driver’s license require applicants to show proof of age, identity, and residence to start the process of applying for a license. The state requires any documentation in a foreign language to be translated into English by a professional. A list of acceptable documents can be found on the state’s website.

This license will cost $24.00 and will allow licensees to drive throughout the state of New Jersey. However, anyone applying for this license must be aware that this license is not compliant with the federal REAL ID Act, and, as a result, it cannot be used at airports or to access federal buildings.

Any New Jersey resident considering applying for this new driver’s license should first consult an immigration attorney.
