Description

Apply for a REAL ID or DL using the DMV online portal. A California REAL ID or DL can be used for travel, proof of residency, personal identification, and other legal purposes. It serves as a government-issued photo identification that proves your identity, age, and legal presence in the United States, allowing you to access various services like opening bank accounts, voting, applying for jobs, purchasing alcohol, and most importantly, driving a vehicle in California if you choose to get a DL.
