Notes

• Two proof of residency documents are required for all driver license and identification card transactions. However, if you are only doing a vehicle transaction (i.e., only obtaining vehicle reciprocity), you are only required to provide one proof of residency document. If you are doing a combined license/ID and vehicle transaction at the same time, you are required to provide two proofs of residency documents.
• Documents that are altered, counterfeit, torn, laminated, erased, whited out, etc., are not originals and are not accepted by DC DMV.
