RICHMOND, Va. – Starting Jan. 1, undocumented immigrants in Virginia will be able to get a driver’s license.
Gov. Ralph Northam held a virtual signing on Monday for a bill that gives the Department of Motor Vehicles permission to issue driver privilege cards to undocumented immigrants.

This comes after the state Senate passed legislation that allows immigrants to have a driver’s license “regardless of legal status.”
In the past, anyone applying for a license in Virginia had to have proof that they were legally allowed in the country. The new law that Northam signed Monday removed that requirement.
