Step 1: Gather required documents
- Proof of identity (e.g., birth certificate, passport)
- Proof of lawful presence (e.g., permanent resident card, work authorization)
- Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement)
- Social Security Number
- Current driver's license
Step 2: Complete an application
This can typically be done online or in person at a state DMV office.
Step 3: Pay fees
Fees for an enhanced driver's license vary by state, but typically range from \$20-\$50.
Step 4: Schedule an appointment
After your application is approved, you'll need to schedule an appointment to visit a state DMV office. At this appointment, you'll have your photo taken, provide fingerprints, and take a vision test.
Step 5: Receive your enhanced driver's license
Once the background checks are complete, your enhanced driver's license will be mailed to you. The timeframe can vary, but typically it takes 6-8 weeks.
