Drivers license or identification card applicant declaration of citizenship or immigration status authorization
This bill allows Minnesota driver's license and ID card applicants to declare their citizenship or immigration status without proving it to the state. It creates "noncompliant" licenses (not meeting federal REAL ID standards) that must be marked "not for federal identification," "not for voting," and "not for benefits." These licenses cannot be used for federal purposes or state benefits, and applicants who don't demonstrate U.S. citizenship or lawful presence can still obtain them. The bill directly affects noncitizen residents applying for licenses in Minnesota who cannot or choose not to provide federal immigration documentation.
