No, that's not true. In Florida, DACA recipients can use their Employment Authorization Document to obtain a TEMPORARY driver's license (I believe it lasts for 1 year). You have to get it renewed after that.

Governor Rick Scott recently vetoed a bill that would have allowed the Deferred Action 797-C approval letter to the current list of acceptable documents to obtain a driver's license. That makes no sense because if you're approved for DACA, then your work permit was most likely approved as well - which you CAN use to get a DL. He made a really stupid decision...

"Already, many DACA recipients in Florida are eligible to receive temporary driver's licenses under a provision in Florida law that allows non citizens with federal work permits to apply. DACA recipients can also obtain work permits, but approval of work permits sometimes does not coincide with approval for deferred action."

"Given that deferred action status does not confer substantive rights or lawful status upon an individual, Florida is best served by relying on current state law. Already, Florida law allows those with a federal employment authorization card, without regard to their deferred action status, to obtain a temporary Florida driver license." - Rick Scott
