Yes you need a social security number to get a licence . But you can register a car in Boston without a license but that will come to a end soon. Beware Boston isn't alien friendly!! Seattle Washington is the only state you can get a license without ss number but immaragtion a holes are lurking around up there looking for easy targets.

If I am military do I have to get a Texas driver's license?

The drivers license from your home state of residence is legal as long as you are still a legal resident of that state. If you become a resident of the state of Texas (other than being stationed there in the military), yes, you would.


Why is a Texas driver's license not accepted as proof of citizenship in Arizona?

All states permit any legal resident to have a driver's license and a number of states process drivers license applications without asking about legal residence status. Thus a drivers license is not proof of citizenship.

Can you get license plate for a car and not have driver license in the same state?

All states that I am aware of require you to get a driver's license for that state when you become a resident, so you can't live in a state and legally continue to use a driver's license from some other state. Also, you're required to register your car in the state where you live, so you can't legally get a license plate for a state where you don't live.One way I can think of to get around this is if if you're in the military (which allows you to maintain your driver's license in your home state regardless of where you're stationed) and your spouse is a legal resident of the state in which you're stationed. You could license the car in your spouse's name and obtain a local license plate while still having your driver's license from your home state.


Can a Mexican citizen get a US Driver's license with a Mexican passport?

No. You cannot obtain a CA driver's license with a Mexican passport. You have to be a legal resident on the United States with a Social Security number.To be clearer, a Driver's License from any U.S. state is given only to those who claim permanent residency in that state. The exact method of showing residency varies by state. Your best bet is to look it up on your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (or Dept of Transportation) web site, where they will tell you what you need to obtain a driver's license from that state.If you are a foreign citizen in the U.S. and are NOT a legal resident of a U.S. state, you may drive in the U.S. if you have a valid driver's license from your home country - certain states may require you to pass a written test in addition, but, even then, you will NOT be issued a standard State Driver's License.


If you move to a state and turn over your old license for that state's license does that make you a legal resident of that state?

No, and in many states you need to have other proof that your are a resident before you can obtain a license. For certain state requirements, say in-state tuition, there may be a residency requirement, but you are a resident of the state that you live in (most of the time). The driver's license can be used as evidence of that residency, but may not be conclusive, depending upon which agency rules you are required to follow.
