Driver's License & Identification Card
To apply for a current driver's license in your state of legal residence, an identification card, or an instruction permit, you may present a copy of an expired driver's license, instruction permit, or state identification card.
If you do not have an expired driver's license, instruction permit, or identification card, you may usually present one primary and one secondary document from your state approved document list. Pursuant to the REAL ID Act, the primary document must contain your full legal name (first, middle, and last) and the month, day and year of birth regardless of the state applying to. Each state has its own rules and regulations which can be learned by contacting them directly.
