This Act creates the means for an undocumented immigrant to apply for and obtain valid driving privileges in the State of Delaware. Those who are eligible will be issued a Class D driver license for driving privileges only that is not considered a valid form of identification due to the applicant’s inability to prove legal presence in the United States. The driving privilege card will be uniquely designed to distinguish it from other driver licenses. It will also be clearly marked “Not Valid for Identification” and for “Driving Privileges Only”. This bill does not change any existing driver license requirements for those who are United State citizens or who have lawful presence in the United States.

An Act To Amend Titles 11 And 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Temporary Instruction Permits And Drivers Licenses.
