Every Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is required to verify an applicant’s legal presence in the United States.
The name displayed on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) documents will be the name displayed on an individual’s state identification (ID) card or driver license.
NON-RENEWABLE/NON-TRANSFERABLE DRIVER LICENSE OR ID CARD
A non-renewable/non-transferable state driver license or ID card will be issued with the same expiration date as the document issued by USCIS or four years, whichever is sooner (regardless of federal grace periods extending the expiration date).
