In AG Opinion No. 7210, the Michigan Attorney General determined that Michigan law only allows driver's licenses to be issued to Michigan residents, and that aliens illegally in the United States cannot be residents of Michigan as contemplated by the Vehicle Code. As a result, illegal aliens are no longer eligible for Michigan driver's licenses. This reverses a previous Attorney General opinion on this issue. (Editor's Note: Currently law enforcement are being instructed to run a LEIN check on the license. If it comes back as valid, law enforcement should treat it as such. The opinion did not discuss Michigan licenses that were issued pursuant to the previous opinion.) AG Opinion Number 7210 , released December 27, 2007.
