RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Legislation allowing undocumented immigrants to possess a driver’s license in Virginia has advanced in the Senate.
Senate Bill 34, introduced by Democratic Sen. Scott Surovell of Fairfax would allow immigrants to obtain a driver’s license regardless of legal status.
The applicant must prove they don’t have a social security or individual taxpayer identification number and submit a certified statement that their information is true.
The bill had several amendments this legislative session. House Bill 1211 introduced by Fairfax Democratic Del. Kathy Tran is identical legislation that also extends such rights to undocumented immigrants.
