Driver's License update
Hello everyone,
My wife wants to update her driver's license to reflect her new last name. However, she was told that she should wait until she gets her green card because the DMV wants proof that she is a permanent resident. We just turned in the papers to adjust her status from J-1 student to permanent resident. She currently has her updated I-20. Will there be any problems with her getting the driver's license updated? Thanks! |

Re: Driver's License update
I also think it is highly dependent on the state. My husband lived in
CA on a J1 visa and did not have trouble obtaining a DL. When we moved to TX, he showed his passport, SS Card, and CA DL and also did not have any problems. The offices in both states did not seem concerned about his immigration status at all. They just wanted valid proof of identification, which he was able to provide, even without a green card. Good luck! Marie |
