Florida loophole lets illegal immigrants register cars without a driver's license A loophole in Florida state law is opening doors for illegal immigrants to obtain a Florida license plate without a driver's license.Rep. Alex Andrade says the issue is being examined by Florida 's top legislators all the way down to tax collectors .
"The reason for this uptick is by rule here in Florida," he added. "Our tax collector who issues a license plate tag and title are required by rule to accept a passport as a valid form of identification for issuing tag and title. What that means is they can't check for citizenship or whether someone has a driver's license. So as long as they have a passport, they can get their tag and title.
"We're creating a situation where these folks are incentivized to be driving on the roads without a license," he added. "The second they're pulled over by law enforcement they will be prosecuted."However, Andrade says this loophole allows someone to bypass normal requirements, appearing to be legitimate.
