Certificates of titles for motor vehicles; prohibit the issuance of to non-United States citizens who are using certain passports.
HB 1538 prohibits Mississippi from issuing motor vehicle title certificates to individuals who are not U.S. citizens and use a non-U.S. passport to apply. It directly affects non-citizen residents attempting to title vehicles using foreign passports as identification. The bill amends existing title application rules to explicitly exclude non-U.S. passports as acceptable identification for non-citizens, requiring alternative proof of identity instead. This is a procedural change to the state's title application process under Section 63-21-15 of Mississippi law.
