Temporary Visitor Drivers Licence (TVDL) is issued to legal residents in the United States who are not eligible for a Social Security Number. Until lately, there was no such provision but in 2005 Illinois started issuing TVDL to enable the residents drive.<\/p>\n

International students and spouses of temporary international workers may apply for a TVDL as they are not eligible to work in the United States. They are legal residents but are\u00a0ineligible\u00a0for a Social Security number. In order to facilitate driving for these residents, a TVDL<\/a> is issued.<\/p>\n

Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bloomington, Rockford, Springfield, Carbondale, and Chicago are the offices that issue a TVDL. They process TVDL only on certain days of the week.\u00a0Take the following original documents to your nearest DMV office.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No SSN letter from the Social Security Office issued within the last 90 days<\/li>\n
  2. Passport with original I94<\/li>\n
  3. Any mail with name and address within last 30 days<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The documents will be verified using the online verification system. If there is any additional verification, a second visit maybe required.<\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Validity<\/strong><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    An applicant must be having at least six months visa and one year valid stay while requesting a TVDL<\/a>. \u00a0A TVDL is valid until three years or the visa expiry date whichever is sooner.<\/div>\n

    A TVDL can be extended after receiving the extension notice from the USCIS. The application may be sent for additional processing. The DMV will issue an invitation letter to revisit the DMV office to get the renewal.<\/p>\n

    Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/strong>First time applicants have to go through vision test, computer test<\/a>, and driving test<\/a>. Applicants renewing TVDL may have to go through vision test and other tests if required.<\/p>\n

    Once all the tests have been passed, a photograph is taken and the TVDL will be issued. It may be a shocking and tiring process but the pain is worth. The stringent rules by the Illinois DMV may seem ridiculous but at the end ensure the safety of the drivers.<\/p>\n
