Native Canadian trying to carry a US driver's license.?
I'm a Canadian citizen with Native American status living in the United States. I have the right to cross the border freely as capably as live and work anywhere in North America. I'm currently living in Indiana and I can't get an Indiana driver's license. Can anyone head me in the right direction? I feel like I've tried EVERYTHING next to many dead ends.
Answers:
A Native American Born in Canada Is required to apply for a Green Card. (Permanent Resident Card) Once you enjoy your Green Card you will be able to get a drivers license.
As Native Americans Born in Canada, you already hold Permanent Resident Status under the Jay Treaty as long as you can prove you are 50% Native American by blood.
There should be no cost to apply for a Green Card

o you must obtain a Permanent Resident Card
o verbal declaration of citizenship/Indian status alone is no longer acceptable as proof of citizenship/status at any U.S. land-border/seaport Port of Entry
--------------------
If you are already a resident of the United States.
You must obtain documentation from your First Nation stating you are 50% or more Native American by blood. Such a statement would be on the tribe's official letterhead and should explicitly state what percentage American Indian blood you or your parents possess, base on official documents/records.
You should also provide photograph identification, such as a Status Card, Provincial Health Card, Driver's License or Passport.
----------------------------
Once you have that proof. Take it to the nearest “U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services” department or Port of Entry and complete a Form I-181, Creation of Record.
The I-181 begins the process in which a Canadian-born American Indian is afforded PR standing and issued an I-551, Permanent Resident card (also called a 'green card').
This process is NOT an application for Permanent Resident Status, but simply the initial achievement required in order to convey - within the regulation - the appropriate status as authorized under the Jay Treaty.
A Canadian-born American Indian cannot be denied PR status, but is required to complete the I-181 in order to receive any benefits lower than U.S. federal law.
