FACT SHEET
Identification and Legal Presence Requirements for Non-United States Citizens
As part of a nationwide effort to enhance the issuance of secure identification credentials, Pennsylvania requires the following documentation from Non-U.S. Citizens applying for a PA Drivers License, Learners Permit and/or Identification (ID) Card, or transferring an out-of-state drivers license. A minimum of one year legal presence is required by Pennsylvania law. PennDOT determines the expiration date of products based on your length of stay documents (typically the I-94) along with information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). PennDOT verifies immigration documents electronically with DHS. This verification may not be able to be completed on the day of your visit and may require additional verification which can take up to 3 weeks to complete. Please take this time into account when planning to get a product. Age Requirements for Non-U.S. Citizens Individuals must be at least 16 years of age to apply for or, 16 1/2 years of age to transfer a Non-Commercial Drivers License and/or Non-Commercial Learners Permit. Out-of-State Learners Permits can not be transferred to Pennsylvania. Individuals applying for or transferring a Commercial Drivers License must be at least 18 years of age for intrastate driving or 21 years of age or older for interstate driving. Individuals must be at least 10 years of age to apply for a Photo Identification (ID) Card. Acceptable List of Documents for Proof of Residence for Applicants 18 years of age or older - Tax records - Lease agreements - Mortgage documents - W-2 Form - Current utility bills (water, gas, electric, cable, etc.) Note - For Current Utility Bills: Cellular/Mobile or Pager Bills are not acceptable - If you reside with someone, and have no bills in your name, you will still need to provide two proofs of residency. One proof is to bring the person with whom you reside along with their Driver's License or Photo ID to the Driver License Center. You will also need to provide a second proof of residency such as official mail (bank statement, tax notice, magazine, etc.) that has your name and address on it. The address must match that of the person with whom you reside. Please note All documents must show the same name and/or date of birth, or an association between the information on the documents. Additional documentation may be required if a connection between documents cannot be established (e.g. Marriage Certificate, Court Order of name change, Divorce Decree, etc.). I-797 Receipts for Applications for change in status, employment authorization, or extensions in length of stay will be reviewed and in some cases may be used as proof of a pending action with USCIS, however, not all I-797 receipts are acceptable (such as those for copies of immigration documents, or petitions for relatives). I-94 HOLDERS Your I-94 should be stamped by DHS personnel or be issued by appropriate DHS agency.
