what do we bring for star on our license

To get a Real ID (the license with a star in the upper corner), you’ll need to bring specific documents to your local DMV. These documents prove your identity, social security number, and residency.

Here’s what you typically need:

✅ 1. Proof of Identity (ONE of these):

• Valid, unexpired U.S. passport
• Original or certified U.S. birth certificate
• Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship

✅ 2. Proof of Social Security Number (ONE of these):

• Social Security card
• W-2 form
• Pay stub with your full Social Security number

✅ 3. Two Proofs of State Residency (TWO of these):

• Utility bills (dated within 30–90 days)
• Lease/rental agreement
• Mortgage statement
• Bank statement
• Vehicle registration

✅ If Your Name Is Different on Any Document (e.g., due to marriage/divorce):

• Marriage certificate
• Divorce decree
• Court-ordered name change documents

Important Tips:

• Documents must be originals or certified copies — no photocopies.
• Some states let you pre-submit your documents online to save time at the DMV.
