IMMIGRANT

Immigrants renewing, replacing or applying for a new driver license or ID card in person must submit the following documents before a REAL ID-compliant driver license or ID card can be issued. Please note that the name assigned to the Social Security Number (SSN) must match the name that will appear on the Florida driver license or ID card. Customers who have recently changed their name should update their records with the Social Security Administration before applying for a driver license or ID card.

 

1. Primary Identification

  • Valid alien registration receipt card (green card, form I-551);

  • I-551 stamp in passport or on I-94;

  • Immigration judge’s order, containing the customer’s A-number (admissions number),
    granting asylum;

  • I-797, containing the customer’s A-number, stating the customer has been granted asylum; or

  • I-797, or another form from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), with the customer’s A-number, stating the customer’s application for refugee status is approved.

Customers may not use their current driver license or ID card as proof of residential address. Customers must submit TWO different documents with their residential address (printouts or faxes of these documents are acceptable). Residential address documents include, but are not limited to:

  • Deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement, mortgage payment booklet or residential rental/lease agreement;

  • Florida voter registration card;

  • Mail from federal, state, county or city government agencies; or

  • FDLE registration form completed by local sheriff department.

Customers who do not have the above documents in their name may provide two proofs of residential address from a parent, step-parent, legal guardian or other person with whom they reside and a Certification of Address form.

In accordance with the REAL ID Act, customers are not required to present these documents for subsequent renewals unless their information changes (e.g., name, address).

Customers who have legally changed their name by marriage, divorce or court order must have their name changed on their USCIS documents.
