A REAL ID is necessary for all New Mexico residents to have. A REAL ID will help you when handling your vehicle purchase or when you’re transferring a vehicle title to another party. We at MVD Express can help you acquire your New Mexico REAL ID. You’ll only need to provide one of the four essential documents in the application process.
These documents break down into three categories:
- One document showing proof of identification number
- One document showing proof of identity and age
- Two documents showing proof of residency
Social Security Card - Proof Of Identification Number.
A REAL ID can link with federal identification information, including a Social Security card. You’ll need to provide your Social Security card with your valid SSN to apply for a New Mexico REAL ID.


US Passport - Proof Of Identity And Age
Your American passport is a proof of identity document that confirms your name, address, and other essential details. Your passport must be unique and accurate for the best results when applying for your REAL ID.
Birth Certificate - Proof Of Identity And Age
Your birth certificate should include your official name. You can also provide official documents for any name changes in the past, but your birth certificate will be a must in the application process.


Utility Bill Or Bank Statement (Dated Within 60 Days) - Proof Of Residency
You can also provide your most recent utility bill or bank statement when applying for your REAL ID. These documents prove the most recent address and ensure the accuracy of your REAL ID.
