Recently efiled the I-90 for a renewal for an expired GC. Unfortunately need to get a New DL asap as it expired this week.

Is there anyway that the local ASC/District office will stamp a doc/letter - stating that this is Temp proof of PLR? (within the new post May 31 guidelines)

In addition, would this be sufficient with the DMV?

thanks for your help ---

Do you have a passport?

Have you tried getting a temporary I-551 stamp in your passport at your local USCIS office? The DMV in Florida will accept the stamp for driver's liscence purposes, but its only valid for 1 year, so you'll need to get a green card within a year, since the driver's liscence will only be issued up until the expiry date of the stamp. Check with your local DMV if they'l accept an I-551 stamp in your passport.

After 9/11 almost every DMV in the US requires you to show proof of legal immigration status in order to qualify for a DL.
 
Thanks for the information. when i applied for my initial DL in July 2004 no body has asked any immigration proof. All these days i was wonder what's the link between DL and GC.
Thanks for clarifying

palaceofhyd,
It depends on which state you're in. Some don't require it.

Plus if the person who attended you didn't know the new rules you didn't have any trouble. Most of the states require that you present any kind of document from USCIS that states that you are in a legal status (GC, pending application with a SSN, etc.)

37yrGCholder, if you have a receipt from USCIS for the renewal of your card, you can go with it. And I think you can go directly to your DO for renewal withouth any appt.

good luck,
