Driver's License during the OPT Application Period ・ Taking and Issuing a Provisional Driver's License

Question

Greetings, I graduated from college this spring and am currently waiting for my OPT visa to arrive.
I was studying to get my driver's license during this gap period, but I noticed the other day that the I20 is listed as necessary to bring with you when you take the written exam.
However, I myself have already graduated from school this spring, and my I20 expired in June.
In this case, how can I take the exam? By the way, my F1 has not expired.
If anyone knows, I would be grateful for your help.

I think you can apply for AB60, which is a license for people without legal document, with a valid passport and utility bill.

＞ I20 also expired as of June.

You're currently here illegally
How can you not have a visa?

＃ 4
The permit to stay in the US is I20, not F1 ？ ＃ 4 doesn't know ？
He says he doesn't have I20, but he should have been issued a new one ？
Without a new one, he cannot apply for OPT
That's what I'm trying to say
＃ I think 4 is an idiot ？ I'm fine ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？

Even though your student visa may still be valid for a while, when your I-20 period of stay is over, your legal stay in the US The period of stay in the U.S. legally is also over.
You are in the U.S. illegally.

What you are waiting for is not an OPT visa, not an SSN, but an EAD card.
As others have said, the I-20 is valid until the OPT is over, so take that with you.
I don't think you should say AB60 because it is for illegal aliens and doesn't apply to them and could complicate the conversation.

I thought you could stay 60 days after your I20 expired ？ If your I20 expired in June, it seems you are not illegal yet. However, if you stay in the U.S. for more than 60 days before your visa expires, you will be in the U.S. illegally 100% of the time, and you will be in trouble the next time you enter the U.S. You should worry about your visa from OPT before your driver's license. You should be more concerned about the visa from OPT before the driver's license.
