Licenses for Immigrant Drivers in Massachusetts 

Aiming to improve public safety and allow more people to participate effectively in their economies, eleven states and D.C. currently provide drivers licenses for qualified residents regardless of immigration status. MassBudget's new factsheet Licenses for Immigrant Drivers in Massachusetts examines fiscal, economic and safety implications of expanding access to driver's licenses for immigrants who are currently ineligible to be licensed to drive in Massachusetts. 

This fact sheet also examines implantation issues that have arisen in other states and describes how states have addressed challenges related to verifying the identity of people applying for licenses from a wide range of different countries.

The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts.
