§ 13001 Daca Identification Card Eligibility

If you have a federal paper saying you were accepted into DACA, that paper counts as proof you’re allowed to stay in the U.S., and you can get an ID card if you also show a Social Security number or proof you can’t get one.

Key Takeaways

  • •A DACA approval document satisfies the proof‑of‑presence requirement.
  • •The department can issue an original ID card when that proof is shown.
  • •You must also show a Social Security number or proof you’re not eligible for one.

Example

A 16‑year‑old who was approved for DACA shows the approval notice and his Social Security number at the state office.

Because the DACA approval notice is a federal document showing he’s allowed to be in the country, the office can give him a new ID card.
