RALEIGH, N.C. — N.C. residents without a U.S. passport can get their REAL IDs Saturday during a Division of Motor Vehicles Express Day.

Residents can convert their current driver license or ID cards to REAL IDs at the driver license office at 3231 Avent Ferry Road in Raleigh from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

People will need to bring the following original documents 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
Two (2) proofs of current physical address: Driver license, vehicle registration card, voter registration card, utility bill, cable bill, bank statement
Proof of name change (if applicable): Certified marriage license, divorce decree and/or court document indicating the name change (number of documents depend on number of name changes)

Photocopies will not be accepted.

Make appointment, gather documents to get REAL ID

Beginning in October 2020, people will be required to have a REAL ID or valid U.S. passport for flying, entering federal facilities and visiting military installations. Some military installations already require REAL ID.

Additional documents are available at NCREALID.gov.

More than 700 REAL IDs were issued at an Express Day in Raleigh in March.
