“How can I get a star on my license in Enfield, CT?”
December 23, 2025
Because you are looking for the gold star, you must visit a physical location to have your identity documents verified in person. You have two main options in the Enfield area:
1. Enfield DMV Office
The Enfield DMV is a Branch Office that provides full licensing services, including REAL ID upgrades.
- Location: 4 Pearson Way, Enfield, CT 06082.
- Requirement: You must make an appointment online before going. The CT DMV generally does not take walk-ins for this service unless you have proof of a flight within 30 days.
2. Enfield AAA (Express Office)
If you are a U.S. citizen, you can also get your REAL ID at the AAA office in Enfield. This is often a faster alternative to the main DMV.
- Location: 25 Hazard Avenue, Enfield, CT 06082 (Enfield Commons).
- Note: AAA offices charge a small “convenience fee” (usually around $8) in addition to the DMV renewal or duplicate fee.
What You Need to Bring
You cannot get the star without specific original documents. Even if you already have a standard CT license, you must bring:
- Proof of Identity: Valid U.S. Passport or original Birth Certificate.
- Social Security Number: Your Social Security card (or a W-2/1099 showing the full number).
- Proof of Residency: Two (2) different pieces of mail (utility bill, bank statement, etc.) dated within the last 90 days.
- Name Change Documents: If your current name is different from your birth certificate (e.g., marriage license or divorce decree).
Costs
- During Renewal: If your license is expiring soon, you just pay the standard renewal fee (approx. $72).
- Mid-Cycle Upgrade: If your license isn’t due for renewal yet but you want the star now, it costs a $30 duplicate fee.
