Get ready for a Real ID
A walkthrough of what a Real ID application asks you to bring. DMV.ai does not apply, file or book anything for you, and is not a government agency. Your ticks stay in this browser. Create a free account to keep them between sessions.
Step 1 — Which state issues your license?
Requirements are set state by state.
Step 2 — Gather your documents
Tick each one off as you find it.
These are the categories the federal Real ID rule requires states to collect. Which specific documents count is decided by your state agency — DMV.ai only lists documents it has verified against an official source.
Step 3 — What DMV.ai has verified
Checking our verified sources…
Open this for another state
Every state has its own page. What DMV.ai shows there is limited to what it has verified against an official source for that state.
