Delaware Drivers Licenses for undocumented immigrants are no longer valid in Florida, per a Senate Bill passed by the Sunshine State in May.
The bill took effect on July 1, banning Driving Privilege Cards from Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, Rhode Island and Vermont. While Delaware DPCs are only valid within the state, someone who presents one from Delaware in a Florida traffic stop may be subject to additional penalties under the new law.
According to Florida state law, driving without a valid license is considered a second-degree misdemeanor, which will result in a $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says in a release “someone who is in our country illegally and has violated our laws should not possess a government-issued ID which allows them access to state-funded services and other privileges afforded to lawful residents.”
