I get many calls from motorists who have been pulled over in Maryland for driving without a license, and state that they were doing so because they are here without a social security number and/or without valid immigration and citizenship documentation. Driving without a license in Maryland is a jailable criminal offense, and not only are these people scared because they may be in Maryland unlawfully, but they are now also scared because they are facing possible incarceration and/or deportation as a result of being charged with driving without a license. Do keep in mind though that if you have a valid foreign driver’s license and/or a valid International Driving Permit, and if you are not living in Maryland, that this is probably enough to drive in Maryland (meaning that you may not be guilty of driving without a license).
   HOWEVER, PEOPLE LIVING IN MARYLAND WITHOUT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS AND/OR WITHOUT VALID IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP DOCUMENTATION ARE IN FACT ELIGIBLE TO OBTAIN A MARYLAND DRIVER’S LICENSE, AND YOU SHOULD IF YOU ARE RESIDING IN MARYLAND.
To obtain a Maryland driver’s license without a social security number and/or without valid immigration and citizenship documentation, you must register for an individual taxpayer identification number through the Internal Revenue Service, file Maryland income taxes for the two years before you seek a Maryland driver’s license, and then obtain a certification letter from the Maryland Comptroller that serves as proof that you’ve paid such taxes. Once you have obtained these things, if you already have a valid foreign driver’s license and/or an International Driving Permit, then you are eligible to seek a full Maryland driver’s license; otherwise, you can seek a Maryland learner’s permit and work your way up though Mayland’s graduated system to obtain a full driver’s license.
