Can an H-4 visa holder apply for a driver’s license?

I was just approved for my H-4 visa and will be moving to the U.S. to be with my family soon. I plan to work and help out my family and will need a car to do so. Can an H-4 visa holder apply for a driving license?

Congratulations on getting approved for your H-4 visa! Yes, even without a social security number, holders of an H-4 visa can drive a car. If you’re an H-4 visa holder looking to apply for a driving license, here are the documents you might need. Remember, this will vary based on where you live.
  • Visa and passport
  • I-94
  • H4 approval
  • Sponsor’s H1B approval
  • Proof of address (most bills can work)
  • Accommodation lease
  • Proof of medical insurance
  • Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)
  • International driving license
  • Birth certificate
Once you get your license, you should turn your attention to getting car insurance.
