Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia, NY \u2014 Starting May 7, 2025, the federal government will enforce the REAL ID Act. On that
date, you\u2019ll need a REAL ID, Enhanced Driver License (or permit\/non-driver ID) or U.S. Passport to
board a domestic flight or enter certain federal buildings. The Genesee County DMV wants residents
to be fully prepared and avoid last-minute surprises.
To help clarify what\u2019s required\u2014and what isn\u2019t\u2014here are answers to some of the most common
questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do I need a REAL ID if I already have a passport or an Enhanced Driver’s License\/Permit\/Non-Driver
    ID?
    No. A valid U.S. Passport or Enhanced Driver’s License\/Permit\/Non-Driver ID already meets federal
    requirements. If you have either, you are already covered and do not need a REAL ID.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Is May 7, 2025 a deadline to get a REAL ID?
    Not quite. May 7 is not a deadline, but the date enforcement begins. From that point forward, standard
    (non-REAL ID) licenses will no longer be accepted for domestic air travel or entry to certain federal
    buildings. If you don\u2019t plan to fly or enter federal facilities, you may not need a REAL ID at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What documents do I need to get a REAL ID or Enhanced ID?
    You must bring original documentation from each of these categories:
    \u2022 Proof of Citizenship or Lawful Status
    o e.g., U.S. Birth Certificate, Valid U.S. Passport, or Permanent Resident Card
    \u2022 Proof of Identity
    o e.g., Current NYS issued document or DMV\u2019s 6-point ID system (form ID-44)
    \u2022 Proof of Social Security Enrollment
    o e.g., Social Security Card, W-2, 1099, or pay stub (issued within 1 year with full SSN)
    \u2022 Two Proofs of NYS Residency
    o e.g., Utility bill, bank statement, mortgage deed, lease, or government-issued
    documents (must be from different sources and issued within one year)
    \u2022 If your legal name has changed (due to marriage, divorce, or other reason), you must bring
    certified proof of each name change, such as marriage certificates, divorce decrees, or court
    orders.
    Photocopies will not be accepted. Only original or certified documents are valid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Who made this requirement?
    The REAL ID Act is a federal law enacted by Congress to standardize identification nationwide. The
    Genesee County DMV is here to help citizens meet the requirement, but did not create the requirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. What can I do to speed up my DMV visit?
    The Genesee County DMV has been very busy as more residents prepare for the May 7 enforcement. To
    make the process easier:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Double-check your documents in advance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Bring original paperwork\u2014no copies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Use our checklist to avoid surprises
