Driving on a suspended license is usually a misdemeanor charge in Los Angeles County, and even if it's reduced to an infraction can result in a fine of over $1500. So how do you get your license if you have no proof that were born in the USA.
California requires applicants of DL/ID's to show verification of DOB and proof of legal presence within the United States. The CA DMV allows numerous types of documents as proof. I included a list directly from the CA DMV website below. If you need more info, check out the FAQ page from the DMV https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/dmv/dl/moredriverlicenseinformation
