All original applicants must present one item from list A, a second item from list A, B, C or D, proof of residency and proof of principle residence address. Applicants that were not born in the US or those that are not American citizens must provide proof of lawful presence from list B, a second item from list C or D, proof of residency and proof of principle residence address.

All applicants for renewal must present the expiring license or ID card and at least one item from list E for proof of residency and proof of principle residence address. If they do not have the driver’s license or ID card, they must present items as though they are an applicant for a replacement driver’s license or ID card.

All applicants for a replacement driver’s license or ID card must present at least two items from list A, B, C or D for proof of identity, and at least one item from list E for proof of residency and proof of principle residence address.

A Social Security number is required from all applicants; however, it will not be used as the driver license or identification card number. If a Social Security number cannot be provided, documentation from list B, proving lawful presence will be required along with proof of residency and proof of principle residence address. All documents presented must be the original or a certified copy; no photocopies will be accepted.
