Drivers License & ID

We've tracked down the most current copies of your state's driver's manual so you can study before applying for a new driver's license or learner's permit. And if you need to renew your driver's license, it might be a good idea to refresh your knowledge every few years; new laws are added periodically and it is wise to stay informed.

We provide information for drivers in the military, for drivers with disabilities, and if your state institutes a "points system," we've provided the details about that, too.

Identification requirements vary for different tasks, so check our lists of documents you'll need to apply for your license or to request a duplicate. If you are getting a state identification card, or if you are a foreign resident needing a driver's license in the states, you'll also find the information you need within the pages of The Unofficial DMV Guide.

And, in addition to all the facts, you'll see that we have provided you links to all the forms you need to fill out before you stand in line to apply for a driver's license. When the forms are not available in downloadable form, we let you know the fastest and easiest way to get them.

Click around. You'll find all the information you need to comply with your state's regulations on applying for a driver's license or ID―and then some!
