Applicants may choose between a ''Not For Federal Use drivers license or ID card'', or a ''REAL ID/For Federal Use card that contains a gold star'', indicating that the card meets full federal requirements for future use at airports and other designated federal facilities and uses nationwide. Details of how Federal Government will implement this requirement have not been released.

If you are applying for, renewing, or obtaining a duplicate drivers license or ID card, you are required to provide specific documents. The documents you need to bring to the DMV depends on what type of card you choose. Due to processing and shipping costs, an additional $10.00 fee is required to obtain a FOR REAL ID/For Federal Use card.

'''Other State License'''

Holders of a valid non-expired out-of -state license, are eligible to transfer their license. If the out-of-state license is expired, applicants are required to take all examination tests, vision, written, and road skills examination(s) before making application for a driver's license.

A new resident who does not have possession of the out-of-state license or if it has expired, must obtain a certified driving record, dated no more than 30 days from the date of the application, from the state in which they were previously licensed.
