What are the requirements for getting a REAL ID?

To obtain a REAL ID in Virginia, there are a few requirements that must be fulfilled. Firstly, applicants must visit a Virginia DMV customer service center in person. They need to provide one proof of identity (such as a valid U.S. passport or birth certificate), one proof of legal presence (e.g., U.S. birth certificate, unexpired U.S. passport, or permanent resident card), and two proofs of Virginia residency (like utility bills or lease agreements). Additionally, they should present their Social Security card or a document proving their SSN eligibility. Proof of name change may be required if applicable. Lastly, a REAL ID application, available online, must be completed beforehand. The application fee varies depending on the type of credential sought. Further details regarding acceptable documents and fees can be found on the Virginia DMV website.
