In Order To Obtain Your REAL ID Driver’s License Or Identification Card, You Will Need To Provide MVD Express With The Proper Documentation, Including:
- A single document that establishes proof of identity and age

The REAL ID driver’s licenses and ID cards are a result of the REAL ID Act of 2005. This act was created following the 9/11 attacks in an effort to increase security and prevent identity theft and fraud in the United States. As a result, the REAL ID cards require more documentation than standard driver’s licenses and other identification cards to protect your identity and ensure that you are who you say you are.

Not only are we available by phone to answer any and all questions regarding the requirements for the REAL ID, but we also offer live wait times and the option to schedule an appointment in advance, allowing you to get in and out quickly.
