When you apply for an original DL/ID card, you must present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document and provide your social security number (SSN). Depending on the birth date/legal presence document you present, your first California DL/ID card may expire on the same date as your legal presence document. If the name on your birth date/legal presence document is different from the name on your DL/ID card application, you must also bring an acceptable true full name document. Your fingerprint, signature, and picture will also be taken (see page 4). For any other DL/ID card transaction, you must present photo identification.
Acceptable Documents
An acceptable birth date/legal presence or true full name document is issued by a county or state. This document is a certified copy of the original (the original is retained by the county or state) and contains an impressed seal or an original stamped impression. DMV will not accept a photocopy of the certified copy for birth date/legal presence or true full name verification.
Examples of other acceptable birth date/legal presence documents are: U.S. Birth Certificate, Proof of Indian Blood Degree, U.S. Passport, U.S. Armed Forces ID Cards, Certificate ofNaturalization, Perm anent Resident Card, or a foreign passport or Mexican Border Crossing Card with a valid I-94. The I-94 expiration date must be more than 2 months from the DL/ID card application date. A complete list of birth date/ legal presence documents is available online at www.dmv.ca.gov or in the Fast Fact brochure Birth Date and Legal Presence Requirements (FFDL 05).
Examples of true full name verification documents include the following:
• Adoption documents containing your legal name as a result of the adoption.
• Name change documents containing your legal name both before and after the name change.
• Marriage Certificate.
• Current California driver license, or
• Nonresident Minor's Certificate (which is issued by DMV) to a minor with proof of financial responsibility.
