Back in January 2013, Illinois passed a law extending driving opportunities to undocumented immigrants. Prior to its implementation, non-U.S. citizens without a visa could not legally drive in Will County or anywhere in Illinois. Yet out of necessity, many did so anyway.
Driver’s license for immigrants. The State of Illinois issues a special driver's license to non-citizens who cannot get a SSN. The license is called Temporary Visitor Driver's License (TVDL). You can apply for a TVDL if you have a lawful immigration status. If you are an undocumented immigrant, you may be able to get a TVDL as well.
The Illinois Driver Services Department has stated that the goal of the program is to improve traffic safety, while underscoring the importance of driver’s license integrity and security. In essence, the new law extends a program already in place for Illinois residents unable to obtain a Social Security card.
Immigrants who do not have the legal documents to reside in the United States can face significant restrictions. One of these is getting an identification card or a driver’s license. These documents are issued by each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) based on a person’s Social Security number.
