Miami-Dade's tax collector wants residents to know that Florida has issued an advisory on driver's licenses and identification cards issued to non-immigrants in the state.
All licenses and IDs issued to non-immigrants, which includes people who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents but have a valid legal presence in the state, are only valid through the expiration date listed on an applicant's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Miami-Dade Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez said in a news release Friday.

Fernandez said the new guidance was issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and is effective immediately.

Fernandez, who oversees the Miami-Dade Department of Motor Vehicles, stressed that his office didn't issue the policy but wanted residents to be aware.
"The Miami-Dade County Office of the Tax Collector is not the issuing authority of this policy but is assisting in ensuring residents are informed and prepared," Fernandez said in a statement. "The Office of the Tax Collector is available to help Miami-Dade residents with appointments or questions related to driver license and ID services."
