How do I apply for a REAL ID?
To apply for a REAL ID, you will need to visit a Driver Services facility with required documents such as proof of identity, Social Security number, and residency. You must also prove any name changes if applicable. The Secretary of State's office website provides a list of acceptable documents for verification. Additionally, a fee for the REAL ID will be required. Once all necessary documents are submitted and fees paid, you will be able to receive your REAL ID in the mail within 15 business days. Make sure to plan ahead and allow ample time to complete the application process before your current identification expires.
