In the United States, all applicants for Real ID driver’s licenses must meet the common mandatory minimum requirements at the federal level for their issuance to be authorized.
In this sense, citizens of Los Angeles, San Antonio, El Paso, Miami or any other city who wish to obtain this card will have to ensure that they can comply with all the documents requested by the different agencies.
Without this document, the Real ID driver’s license cannot be processed
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) one of the essential requirements to obtain this document is to present proof that one has a Social Security number (SNN).
To meet this requirement, the following documents can be brought
- Social Security card
- W-2 form
- SSA-1099 form
- 1099 form issued by entities other than Social Security
- Pay stub that includes the applicant’s name and Social Security number
- Social Security card
This step allows the person’s identity to be verified before the license is issued.
Other documents that must be presented to obtain this driver’s license
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) specifies that the following will also be requested
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Two proofs of primary residence
- Legal status in the United States
It is essential to note that additional requirements may be required in each state, so the advice is to verify that all necessary documents are gathered before going to the office to avoid any delay or rejection.
What makes this driver’s license different from others offered by the United States
This card meets all the security criteria established by the Real ID Act, so it is accepted for different official uses such as
- Entering certain federal facilities
