Hey. Does anyone know if you can get a DL from CT (or New Haven which is in CT)?. What documents would you need to show? I heard about that recently. Or anywhere else from the Northeast if possible.

In CT you need to be legal or a citizen in order to apply for a DL.

My friend OP I would be driving a car by now if CT actually had lenient rules regarding licenses. Still Connecticut is an awesome state...Let's cherish the recently passed Dream Act...FINALLY in state tuition for CT dreamers!

Has Malloy signed it? if not when is he going to sign it?

2Face · 07-04-2011, 03:21 PM

Yes, signed and officially the law.

I try looking up online about this and there is nothing that he has signed it. I'll go by your word, so do you know the process to apply to a university? Is there a special application or something?

Edit: I just try applying to Uconn and there is nothing about the dream act or anything.

Edit 2: Yeah you are right, he did sign the law but I still can't find any information on how to apply.
Here is an article on he signing it http://www.ct.gov/malloy/cwp/view.asp?A=11&Q=481424.
