   Most of you are concerned if you are able to take the NCLEX depending on the state you live in. DACA gave us the opportunity to be able to work. Therefore, I don't see an issue why your respective states won't allow you to sit for your NCLEX and gran...

   https://www.ncsbn.org/1221.htm You are able to take your NCLEX but you CANNOT use your driver's license because "legal presence no lawful status" means the same thing as temp. However, you can sit for your NCLEX as long as you use your UNEXPIRED NATI...

   I am speaking from my experience taking the NCLEX January 2014 in New York. Your native passport IS a government issued ID and therefore should match with the name on your ATT. DO NOT use your NY state ID. Use your unexpired native passport.

    Yes, they let me sit for the test. I'm not sure if you obtain your driver's license in Florida if it says "Temporary" / "Limited". If it does, they're unacceptable forms of ID. Make sure to bring your passport.
