Real ID

If your license or ID had a gold star in the upper right corner, you already have a Real ID. Your duplicate will contain the star. You do not have to submit any additional documentation.

If not, your duplicate will be marked "NOT FOR REAL ID PURPOSES."

A Real ID will be required for those who wish to use a driver's license or state ID to board aircraft beginning May 7, 2025. See DHS Real ID Information for details and other instances where a Real ID is required.

You must visit a DMV office and submit proof of identity and address to obtain a Real ID. You can upgrade at the same time as you order a duplicate or complete another DMV transaction.

Visit GetRealNevada.com and The Real ID Act in Nevada to determine whether a Real ID is right for you.
