New Mexico Dl, Is A Ss# W/not Valid For Employment Good Enough?

Ok so I have a SS# but it says not valid for employment, for anyone who has ventured out to NM to obtain a DL have the same issues? If so what would be a better thing to use. I know a lot of people have talked about going and being successful, but every case if different.. i'm just nervous about it, but getting a DL would be the best thing for me..

please help!!!

A social security number is not required to obtain a Drivers License in New Mexico.

Jefe, that is all I have as an identification number, and I know for sure that is required. .. that's why I wanted to know.

You are misinformed BigDreamer09:

You can use an ITIN along with a valid passport from your home country as proof of identification number

-an ITIN can be obtained by anyone in the United States regardless of immigration status.

-a valid passport can be obtained at your home countries consulate office within the United States.



For your Proof of Identity you will need the following:
-Original or certified copy of a foreign birth certificate with a notarized English translation.

If you do not have an original or certified copy of your birth certificate you can have a friend or relative still living in your home country help you in obtaining one. Otherwise there are accredited companies that specialize in this. You pay them $100-200 and they send a company representative in your home country to pick you up a copy of your birth certificate and mail it to you.
