Texas now requires photo ID for car registrations, affecting undocumented residents and raising mobility concerns.
Texas has enacted immediate photo ID requirements for vehicle registrations and renewals, mandating documents like a driver’s license, passport, or military ID.
The change, communicated to county offices and dealers on Nov. 18–19, 2025, may prevent undocumented residents and others without approved IDs from legally registering vehicles.
The Texas DMV says the policy aims to verify identity and reduce fraud, but critics warn it could disrupt mobility for law-abiding immigrants, including DACA recipients and asylum seekers, and increase unregistered vehicles on roads.
The rule affects an estimated 1.7 million undocumented immigrants in the state and has drawn criticism for disproportionately impacting vulnerable populations.
