California OKs driver's licenses for some undocumented immigrants
By Mary Slosson

SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers have approved a bill to allow some young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children to obtain driving licenses, in a move that could appeal to Hispanic voters in the heavily Democratic state.

The bill, which passed the state Assembly by a 55-15 vote late Thursday before being sent to the desk of Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, was introduced following the announcement of a federal program to relax deportation rules and grant some young immigrants temporary legal status in the United States.

"It is a victory for those who were brought here through no fault of their own, played by the rules, and are only asking to be included in and contribute to American society," the bill's sponsor, Assembly member Gilbert Cedillo, said in a statement

Re: CA DL thread
 

Glad to see my Cali brothers are getting their DL. What car are you planning on getting?...

Re: CA DL thread
 

Well I already have a wa dl. I have a Toyota corolla.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Ok guys. I called the CA DMV. And told this fine sounding bitch that I'm still waiting for my SSN. But that I have my I 797A. And EAD. And she's like. Yea you should be fine. So she made my appointment for next week. And since I have a wa dl they'll wave the driving test but I'll need to take the written one.

Re: CA DL thread
 

LMAO... They're usually fat and ugly.

Re: CA DL thread
 

For Cali ID/DL id suggest you just use
EAD
birthcertificate
consulate id or state id
take I797 approved notice of action
passport

you can waive the ssn :P the app has a box were you swear you will provide one when you get one lalalalaa (read it!!!)
well i got my EAD so time to apply for an ssn!!!! yay!!

Re: CA DL thread
 

Yes. You're right. There's a little box that makes you promise that you will inform them when you get your number.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Oh cool :) let us know how it goes

Re: CA DL thread
 

So basically we DON'T need to wait for our SSN to arrive before applying for a CA ID? This makes me a bit more relieved and excited. My goal is to have an official ID before the first week of November. :)

EDIT: That form says if you're not 'presently eligible for one' .. but technically, we are. So..?

Re: CA DL thread
 

I'll be taking the form i got from SSA and tell them it's on the way. And I'll let them know when I get it.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Interesting.. might be worth a shot. When are you scheduled to go in? Which county/city?

Re: CA DL thread
 

The lady said it would be fine after confirming with somebody else. Next tues in Santa Ana , ca.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Great!
Keep us updated on how that goes.

Re: CA DL thread
 

bah, lady today told me no you can't get one until you have ur ssn. grrr
i walked in without appointment grrr there is a disclaimer on back that states if you are eligible for an ssn u need to provide it or app gets denied.
anyone else had any issues?

Re: CA DL thread
 

You won't be issued a DL unless you have a printout from SSA that says you are not eligible for one.

If you get one you will be .00001% of applicants.

If you're waiting for one, then you are eligible, thus you cannot check that Box.

Re: CA DL thread
 

This is what I figured in terms of technicality. There is also that currently pending law Brown has yet to sign that will affect us. User 'teacup' said that with receipts of EAD/I-821D approval, it might be possible to get the DMV to issue something? It's automatically law by the 4th if he doesn't veto it.

Re: CA DL thread
 

That Law is useless.
We can get a DL w/out that Law.

People need to read the law, not believe hearsay.

Re: CA DL thread
 

If around the time it becomes law and people are barely receiving their EAD's in the mail, it could help skip the impatient wait of obtaining a SSN before going to the DMV to try to obtain identification. Not sure how that would make the law worthless..

Re: CA DL thread
 

Someone obviously did not READ the law.

http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...01120120AB2189
With an EAD are DACA beneficiaries not eligible for a SSN??????????????????????????????????????????????????? How is that different from how CA DMV issues DL/ID NOW?

Seriously... I don't even know why I try.

I am curious how someone comes up with an opinion based on hearsay? Care to enlighten me.


So in summary my point stands law is USELESS!

Re: CA DL thread
 

So I suppose is this what I get for reading all the news articles and not the actual text of the law. My mistake.

This forum seems to be getting quite the best of you. May I suggest a break? :wink:

Re: CA DL thread
 

I came back right now and the forum seemed to have gone back 5 steps back in the Reality of anything and everything being discussed.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Someone will always be ahead of you, and someone will always be behind you.

Thanks for clarifying, anyway. Now that puts me where you are in terms of this.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Ill go next week to get the permit and provide my SSN that says "not valid for employment". I don't think they will make a big deal.

Re: CA DL thread
 

You won't because you already have a SSN, which will come back as VERIFIED.
The only thing holding you back was a Legal Presence document, but now you have one, so you're case is not the case of the majority of us.

Re: CA DL thread
 

the law brown has in his desk is supose to help those who cannot get a work permit but are approved for I-821d, there was a content in the law that has "accepted" in there and puts things out of context. Its in the news section i don't recall but as you have said you go to ssn with I-821d or w/e and aren't eligible for an ssn that law supose to help you. So those who don't get a work permit can get an id/d.l atleast but yeah going and looking at the info its pretty much like it was said before.
and the apps online don't have the disclaimer the actually appt that explains the ssn part :/ sucks o well

Re: CA DL thread
 

I made an appt for monday. I'll update here and tell everyone how it went. Wish me luck!

Re: CA DL thread
 

Do update. Good luck

Re: CA DL thread
 

Good luck!

Re: CA DL thread
 

Does anybody know if the dmv requires you to provide the SSN card or can you just give them then number....I have a card but back in the day a stupid lady laminated it.

Re: CA DL thread
 

If I'm not mistaken you just write your SSN and show them your EAD

Re: CA DL thread
 

yup, idk about proof of id, ead works too but ill find out on tues/wed and for now who ever gets approved get the print out before ur card arrives and go to dmv, until we hear what the ab2189 bill says or gets interpreted.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Ill go on monday to get the permit, then ill let you guys know how it goes.

Re: CA DL thread
 

You put down the number, they check, if it's all good, they don't ask questions. If it comes back :(
They ask for the card and talk to SSA.

Re: CA DL thread
 

Okay, I read the instructions and thats what I sort of understood. Just wanted to make sure, thanks.
