Starting this coming Saturday, July 1, immigrants will be able to apply for their driver’s license in Massachusetts regardless of their immigration status, under the “Labor and Family Mobility Act” (WFMA).
The Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Registry (RMV) website has all the information related to the process, including what type of license will be granted and how much it would cost to obtain it.
WHAT KIND OF LICENSE CAN YOU GET?
After obtaining a learner’s permit, drivers must pass a road test to receive a standard driver’s license: Class D or Class M. A Class D license allows you to legally operate a passenger car, van, or small truck. A Class M license allows you to legally operate a motorcycle.
Both are valid for five years.
The entire process costs $115, according to RMV officials. The costs may vary depending on the type of management that is going to be carried out.
Here you can find the complete list of costs.
Finishing the process takes around 15 weeks. First you will get a paper license that is valid for 60 days. The driver’s license on the plastic card should arrive in the mail within two weeks.
