\u00a0From Fred Woodhams, Communications Manager,\u00a0 Michigan Department of State<\/em><\/p>\n The state of Michigan will begin issuing new limited-term driver\u2019s licenses and state identification cards on Feb. 19. Limited-term licenses and ID cards will be issued to noncitizen Michigan residents with temporary legal status, such as foreign students, visiting professors, seasonal workers, specialty workers, diplomats and some athletes.<\/a><\/p>\n As shown in the example on the right, the limited-term licenses and ID cards will feature the letters \u201cLT\u201d in the \u201cRestrictions\u201d field to note that the license has a limited term. The expiration date also will be different than a standard license or ID card. Instead of expiring on the card-holder\u2019s birthday, it will list the expiration date of the individual\u2019s legal presence in the United States if they are authorized to remain in the United States for less than four years. The new features will be on both adult horizontal format cards and vertical under-21 format cards.<\/p>\n
