A: Check with your state's DMV. Ask if they need a Social Security Number, and any other requirements. If you go in person to the DMV, wait until you have your I-589 asylum application receipt notice. (Scan the original and email it to yourself so you have it in the cloud, make a copy and bring the photocopy and your smart phone with you to DMV, in case anyone challenges your immigration status. Doubt they will but who knows?)
