In other words, your cousin is illegal. If he wants a driver license, I'm confident that the authorities in his country of origin will happily supply him with one when he returns home.
Furthermore, cities do not issue driver licenses...that is a state function.

Well, if he does, then he will be a much safer driver than his American counterparts. Getting a drivers license in some countries il like going to college. It can take up to a year to offically obtain one after one passes every circumstance known on how to handle the conveyence in any situation. Compare that with the US which is only three weeks and some instruction, classroom or otherwise.

Depending on which state your cousin lives will depend on which documents will need to be presented. Also, he could get a state identification card instead of a drivers license to prove he/she is a resident in that state.

3 weeks?
My timeline was get a provisional license, they gave me 25 rather obvious multiple choice questions.
Then a week later we went for a 5 minute drive around the block.
That was it.
But as far as elsewhere is concerned, it varies. Took me 9 months and 30 odd lessons, but I doubt if that is the case for Mexico.

For most Americans, particularly under 18 group, it can take three weeks to obain a drivers license. They do this by going to driving school, which costs several hundred dollars. During that time, they obtain their learners permit and by the end of the training session generally can pass the driving test.
It took my wife two months to go from no drivers license to learners permit to full drivers license.
Theone, I did not see if the cousin was from Mexico or where ever. I did see indication that the cousin came legally, but overstayed. You would note that the cousin has a valid SSN, but nothing else.
Thanks Hudson, Yes she was here legaly until 2006, that's how she got her SS, but in 2006 her petition was denied and now she appeal that decision but until she hear anything from the appeal she's on the "limbo".Again thanks for your help.

My home experiance was not age dependent, there was a TV show about wrost drivers, some lady who had 50 or so driving tests, and still could not pass. Not something hat would be understood in the US.
My Spouse never took the test, but from what I gather most USC's did not, even if they should have.
Not Mexico, well a 50/50 shot. Should have said like Mexico.
State rules for documentaton will be on DMV web site, I believe all States require residency so not something you can shop around.

If she has any paperwork on the appeal, she can bring that to the Department of motor vehicles, along with her SSN. Technically, she is not illegal because her case is still on appeal. If she wins her appeal, everything is fine. If not, then she will need to return home. USCIS will give some time after the appeal because the immigration system will determine when her residency status ended. This generally starts when the appeal is denied.
If someone is Illegally in the United States,they will not get a state ID showing they are a resident of that state.Its not meant for illegals lol.
In most states you have to show proof,you not only entered the country legally,you also have show documentation,you are here legally and for what amount of time. I know this is the case in Ohio.And the DMV often is able to run your SS to see if its valid and legal. And if the SS fake,he can be jailed on the spot,which is by the way a felony!
thank you for the list.Always wanted to see each states law.
I have a question maybe you or anyone else can verify this.I am a bit confuse.
I am from Ohio.Here if you are legally as a temprary alien.They will issue a drivers license like it says that is called "non renewable license" and those words actually will say on your license.
Now I just read,the law says Aliens other than permanent resident are eligible for a Ohio license.
Now does that mean,even if you are a permement resident of the US aka green card holder forever. Will be issued a non renewable license? I am confuse.

According to Congressional Report [which is updated 09/05] it doesn't.
Here is what CR Report for Ohio says:
1) Lawful presence requirement: "YES"
2) "Aliens other than legal permanent resident aliens are eligible for non-renewable licenses only. Legal presence is a requirement for obtaining a nonrenewable license. OAC Ann.4501:1-1-37 (Anderson 2005)".
Meaning:
1) To get a DL in Ohio you MUST be legally present in US (illegals won't qualify for any DL)
2) If you are not LPR then you are eligible for non-renewable license only (which, by default, means that you will be able to get regular DL, as USCs, if you are LPR).
