What documents do I need to bring to the DMV to get a new license?

Asked a year ago
To get a new license at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (DMV/RMV), you must bring the following documents: 1. Proof of identity: You need to present an original or certified copy of your birth certificate, US passport, or permanent resident card. 2. Social Security Number (SSN): Bring your SSN card or an official document from the Social Security Administration (SSA) containing your SSN. 3. Proof of Ohio residency: For this, you can show utility bills, bank statements, or rental agreements with your name and current Ohio address. 4. Legal presence in the US: Non-US citizens must provide proof of legal presence such as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) or valid visa. 5. Name change documentation: If your name has changed, bring the legal documentation such as marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court-issued name change order. It is recommended to check the Ohio BMV website for any additional requirements and any documents specific to your situation.
