Need that new driver's license? Get it in Durham on Saturday
Starting October 1, the federal government will require U.S. residents to have a REAL ID or other approved federal documents for flying commercially, entering federal facilities and visiting military installations.
Posted — UpdatedThe N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles has scheduled the first in a series of REAL ID Express Days for Saturday in Durham to give people another opportunity to get their N.C. REAL IDs quicker.
Starting October 1, the federal government will require U.S. residents to have a REAL ID or other approved federal documents for flying commercially, entering federal facilities and visiting military installations.
Knowledge tests, driving skills tests and legal presence/lawful status transactions will not be available during the REAL ID Express Days. People seeking those services can visit the South Durham office at the Hope Valley Commons Shopping Center from 8 a.m. until noon. Those services are offered at the South Durham office each Saturday.
To obtain a REAL ID, residents will need to bring the following original documents (no photocopies) to the driver license office:
- One (1) proof of identity/date of birth: certified birth certificate or unexpired U.S. passport.
- One (1) proof of full Social Security Number: Social Security card, W-2 or 1099 tax form.
- Two (2) proofs of current physical address: driver license, vehicle registration card, voter registration card, utility bill, cable bill, bank statement, leasing contract or mortgage statement.
NCDMV plans additional REAL ID Express Days in the Triangle, including:
- Garner Driver License Office, 222 Forest Hills Dr. in the Forest Hills Shopping Center, April 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- West Raleigh Driver License Office, 3231 Avent Ferry Rd. in the Avent Ferry Shopping Center, April 25 and May 9 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
NCDMV will provide public notice prior to REAL ID Express Days in other North Carolina areas.
REAL ID Express Days in 2019 drew more than 3,200 customers to offices in Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Kernersville, Wilmington and Hendersonville.
More than 1.7 million North Carolinians have obtained a REAL ID since the identification document was first made available in May 2017.
