New Information for Immigrant Driver’s License Applicants
Some lawfully present immigrants have experienced difficulties obtaining full-term, eight-year driver’s licenses from the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). The NCDMV recently issued a Declaratory Ruling in March 2023 addressing some of these issues and putting new rules in place for immigrants applying for driver’s licenses in North Carolina. We know that many of those who were impacted by the NCDMV’s policy may have questions about the recent changes. We’re here to help.
