HB 535 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Create an interim driver's license for pending visa applicants

This bill creates a new type of driver's license specifically for people who have applied for a U.S. visa but are still waiting for final approval. To qualify, individuals must submit their standard driver's license application and provide proof that their visa application is currently being processed by immigration authorities. The license is valid for up to one year, cannot be renewed or transferred to another state, and must be replaced with a new interim license or a permanent one if the applicant's legal status is confirmed before it expires.
