Colorado will begin issuing driver's licenses and photo ID cards to immigrants Friday regardless of their legal status. It means that even undocumented immigrants residing in Colorado will be able to obtain a driver's license or a state photo ID card.
About 9,500 people are signed up for appointments through the next 90 days to get the documents, with more getting scheduled every day. Both people in the country illegally and those who have temporary legal status will qualify.

Other states where driver's licenses can be issued to undocumented immigrants are Illinois and Nevada. California plans to start in January 2015.
