Real ID & Refund

Click to learn more about Real ID

Check your existing Nevada license or ID card for a gold star in the upper right corner. If it's there, you already have a Real ID.

If not, visit these pages to see if a Real ID is right for you! You can upgrade to a Real ID at the same time you complete another transaction, even a car registration.

The DMV is also issuing cash refunds of Technology Fees paid in 2020 and 2021. Ask for yours while you're at the office.
