Travel
If you’re interested in traveling, particularly on airplanes, you will need a license. If you are planning on boarding a commercial aircraft, it’s important to have a REAL ID. The Federal REAL ID Act of 2005 establishes minimum security standards for state-issued Driver’s Licenses and ID cards. If you don’t have a REAL ID card yet, it’s important to upgrade to a REAL ID in order to travel.
Identification
Even if you don’t plan on driving a car or flying in an airplane, you’ll still need a form of identification. Your ID must be issued by a legitimate organization, and your New Mexico driver’s license is issued by the state government, so it guarantees that you are who you say you are. You need an ID in a wide range of situations, including employment or voting.
Getting Into Age-Restricted Locations
Many locations require you to prove your age, such as a bar or liquor store. Your driver’s license has your birthday and works as an official document of your age. If you’re over the age of 21, your driver’s license can show that you are of age to buy alcohol. Other places, like concerte halls, festivals, and theme parks may also require you to prove your age.
Driving
Last, and not least, your New Mexico driver’s license allows you to drive a car! This is the most common reason people get a driver’s license, and it’s the primary reason people visit MVD Express. If you want to get a driver’s license, you’ll need to bring proof of identification and age and proof of residency.
