Eligible Afghanistan Nationals Paroled into the U.S
The Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, includes a provision making certain citizens and nationals of Afghanistan paroled into the United States eligible for REAL ID compliant driver’s licenses, permits and identification cards. Parolees must present all documentation as listed on the Real ID Documentation List.
All Other Individuals Paroled into the U.S.
To qualify for an Indiana credential, paroled individuals, except certain Afghan nationals, will have to show documentation to support a viable lawful status beyond their parole status. Many paroled individuals may qualify for Temporary Protective Status (TPS), Asylum status or other lawful statuses.
House Bill 1162 repealed the parole language, except for certain Afghans, Indiana can now only issue credentials to parolees that have lawful status.
