I have the following proof of identity. And I do have my J-1 visa, but what if I can't present it to DMV? Am I eligible to apply for a New York State Driver License?

- Social Security Card
- Foreign passport with I-94
- W-2 Form
- US bank accounts, credit and debit cards
- GED (General Equivalency Diploma)
- Cell phone bill
 
You are advised to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles directly. Look them up in your telephone registry or call 411. Do not assume that you will meet eligibility requirements simply by presenting proof of legal status in the USA. Since September 11 2001 there has been a slew of new regulations making it far more complicated for non-Americans to obtain American drivers licenses.
