Driver's License

[sweetpetutie]

I can't find anything definitive online and can't get through to the DMV call center. To renew/get a new driver's license, do you need an original birth certificate?

Renew one expiring or get a brand new one (first time driver)?

Is this related to getting the REAL-ID license? Otherwise a renewal shouldn't require it, new license might still require it. See if you can find out HERE.

Well, it's when you can't renew online and have to show proof of who you are. I guess it's a special one because of illegals? I can't find it on the MVA site or anywhere. Someone said it's a new license everyone eventually has to have with a red star on it?

Did you get a renewal notice? If so it should let you know what you need.

The New Biden ID.

... everyone eventually has to have with a red star on it?

"Look around this world we made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh, what a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the red star proudly high in hand."

If you have a passport, you can use that instead of certified birth certificate. May need a marriage cert if names don't match.

Ok thanks. It's for my husband who doesn't have a passport. So you're saying he will need an original birth certificate? Copies won't do?

If you need a certified copy, need to go to the town clerk's office where his birth was registered.

A certified copy will work.

Here is a link to what one needs for the real ID - https://mva.maryland.gov/Documents/FO-150A.pdf

O thou font of all knowledge - I swear Ken, sometimes I refrain from responding on a thread just to see what you post.
