A buddy of mine told me that they only allowing you to work and not give you a drivers license but if your getting hand over a S.S# dont that count. Any one lives in Rhode Island or near Rhode Island that could get their drivers lincense?

"Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)" will not only receive a work permit from the immigration authorities but can now, in some U.S. states, apply for a driver's license.

A number of states have already indicated that they'll issue driver's licenses to DACA recipients, and others may eventually join in. The joiners include (as of early February, 2013):

California

Colorado

Connecticut

Delaware

Florida

Georgia

Hawaii

Illinois

Indiana

Idaho

Iowa

Kansas

Kentucky

Maryland

Massachusetts

Michigan

Minnesota

Mississippi

Missouri

Nevada

New Hampshire

New Jersey

New York

Oklahoma

Oregon

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island

South Carolina

Tennessee

Texas

Virginia

Wisconsin

In the states of New Mexico, Washington, and Utah, immigration status is not a prerequisite for a driver's license, and so DACA recipients are as eligible as any other applicants. Some states have, however, expressly stated that they will refuse to issue drivers' licenses to DACA recipients, including Arizona and Nebraska. (Residents of those states, don't expect to be able to get one from another state -- driver's license applications usually require you to prove state residency.)
