A new Florida rule restricts legal immigrants' driver's licenses to one-year validity, obligating annual renewals instead of extending until visa expiration. Green-card holders are exempt from this regulation. Announced by the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector's Office, this policy affects immigrants on work visas, who will now face a significant increase in visits to DMV offices. This change is projected to heavily impact South Florida's immigrant population, creating additional challenges for license maintenance amid existing congestion at DMV facilities, which will not be alleviated by the ruleâonly affecting renewals, not current licenses.
The new rule will require legal immigrants, particularly in South Florida, to renew their driver's licenses annually, significantly increasing their visits to DMV offices.
This change is expected to greatly impact South Florida's immigrant community, making it harder for them to maintain necessary driving privileges.
