California DMV will share driver's license data through a national network, potentially identifying undocumented immigrants

California will share driver's license data through a national network, potentially identifying undocumented immigrants. The DMV will feed license and ID data to the State-to-State Verification Service and SPEX database, which flags individuals without Social Security numbers. This move is tied to federal Real ID Act compliance. The plan includes safeguards, with the attorney general able to sue for violations and public sharing of data requests. A monitoring plan is due in July 2027.
