This means that an applicant who is undocumented can receive a driver’s license under AB 60.  \nAB 60 represents an enormous victory for the immigrant communities and for the state as a whole. Now immigrant parents can get driver’s licenses so that they can lawfully drive their children, many of them U.S. citizens, to school and to the doctor. This law is also a big win for public safety because in order to get a license, applicants will need to show proof of insurance as well as to pass a written test on driving, an actual driving test, and a vision test.  \nHow can I use an AB 60 license?  \nAn AB 60 license is valid for driving and for state ID purposes. An AB 60 license is not a federal ID and cannot be used for certain federal purposes, such as entering restricted parts of federal buildings. It does not give anyone the right to work, vote, or receive any benefits that the person wasn’t already eligible for.  \nIs there any risk ofusing an AB 60 license with law enforcement?  \nIt is against the law for state and local law enforcement to discriminate against someone because he or she has an AB 60 license. This means that you can use your AB 60 license to identify yourself to California police officers if you get pulled over in a traffic stop.  \nBut the law does not protect against discrimination from federal law enforcement or law enforcement from other states. Because of this, do not present an AB 60 license to federal officials, such as ICE, CBP, or TSA, or to law enforcement in another state.  \nCan I use an AB 60 license to board an airplane?  \nWe recommend NOT using an AB 60 license to board an airplane. There are two risks. First, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) might not accept it. The TSA has been inconsistent regarding the acceptance of AB 60 licenses (or similar licenses from other states) . Second, and more importantly, TSA officials could use the license as a basis to stop someone, question that person, and ultimately refer the person to ICE. AB 60 does not protect against discrimination by TSA officials, and the concern is that TSA agents may use an AB 60 license to flag people and refer them to ICE. If a person needs to fly, she should use other identity documents, such as an unexpired passport, and be aware that TSA engages in immigration enforcement.  \nAre AB 60 licenses available now?  \nAB 60 driver’s licenses are available now, as of January 2, 2015.  \n©2015 Immigrant Legal Resource Center  \nApril 2015  \nWhat if I applied for a California driver’s license in the past?  \nIf I had a valid CA driver’s license in the past, can I apply for a new one under AB 60?  \nIf you applied for a driver’s license in the past using only correct information, there should not be any problem in applying for an AB 60 license. Some people who are undocumented may have applied fora driver’s license before California began requiring proof of lawful status in 1993. Other people may have had lawful status in the past and obtained a driver’s license. If you used false information in a previous application to the DMV, see the following questions.  \nIf I applied for a driver’s license in California using a fake name or social security number in the past, will I be at risk if I apply for an AB 60 license?  \nThe concern for anyone who used fake information in a prior driver’s license application to the DMV is that the DMV could refer the person to criminal prosecution for fraud. BUT the DMV’s current policy is not to refer anyone to criminal prosecution who previously applied for a license using false information so long as the false information did not cause any harm.
