Ava's answer
Prepare for Alabama REAL ID using the official agency instructions. Confirm current requirements before visiting.
- Check agency requirements: Check the ALEA STAR ID document list for identity, Social Security and two Alabama residence proofs.
- Complete the agency step: Bring the accepted documents to an ALEA Driver License Examining office; county offices cannot issue the initial STAR ID.
