Renewing and REAL ID
It's time to renew your driver's license, and you may have a choice to make. Beginning May 3, 2023, Michigan residents boarding a plane for domestic travel in the U.S., or entering certain federal facilities, military bases and nuclear power plants must present a REAL ID-compliant document.

If you have an enhanced driver's license, you already have a REAL ID-compliant card. (Enhanced licenses that don't have a star on them are still REAL ID compliant and will be printed with a star when renewed or replaced.)

If you have a driver's license, check your renewal notice for your options.

How Do I Decide if I Need a REAL ID-compliant Driver's License?
You may not need a REAL ID-compliant license if you:

  • Don't fly and don't plan to enter certain federal facilities, military bases and nuclear power plants after May 3, 2023.
  • Have an acceptable alternative to a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, such as a valid U.S. passport or passport card. The Transportation Security Administration provides a complete list of acceptable documents.

If the convenience of carrying a driver's license that meets all requirements for boarding a plane for domestic travel appeals to you, then a REAL ID-compliant driver's license is the right choice for you.

How Do I Obtain a REAL ID-compliant Driver's License?
To apply for a REAL ID-compliant license when renewing:

  1. Visit a Secretary of State office.
  2. Provide proof of U.S. citizenship or legal presence by presenting your certified U.S. birth certificate with a stamp or raised seal; an unexpired U.S. passport or passport card; or other approved citizenship or legal presence document. If your name is different from what's on your birth certificate, you'll need to bring in a certified name-change document, such as your marriage license or court order. Multiple documents may be needed if your name has changed more than once. Name-change documents must show both the changed name and the previous name. Divorce decrees may be used if they are certified (copies aren't accepted) and if they show the changed name and the previous name. Photocopies and faxes aren't accepted.
  3. Bring your glasses or contacts if used for driving.
  4. Pass the vision test.
  5. Pay your driver's license renewal fee. There is no fee for converting to REAL ID.

If you apply for a REAL ID license or ID card and you aren't renewing, a duplicate card fee will be due. Please make sure you have the appropriate documentation before you go to a branch office.
