What do DMVs need to do to check documents establishing a persons identity?
All source documents presented by the applicant when applying for a REAL ID document must be verified with the issuing agency. DHS has identified appropriate methods for verifying information presented to the DMVs to demonstrate identity, lawful status, date of birth and Social Security number with the issuing agency. DHS is also assisting States in the development of a verification system hub that would make it easier and much less costly for States to verify the information on source documents with the issuing agency and check with other States to ensure that persons do not have multiple drivers licenses.
