Tennessee bans some out-of-state driver licenses
Beginning January 1, 2026, Tennessee invalidates out-of-state licenses and permits issued only to people without lawful presence. It also invalidates licenses marked or designed to look different from those for citizens, permanent residents, or temporary lawful residents with a stated authorized stay. These licenses do not authorize driving on Tennessee public roads; driving with one is a Class B misdemeanor. Certain nonresident-license rules apply only when the license is not invalid under this law. Effective upon becoming law, the Department must publish a website list of invalid license classes by December 1, 2025. It must keep the list current, adding or removing license classes as needed.
