Getting an ID in California is a relatively straightforward process, but there are a few steps you'll need to follow. Here's a breakdown of what you need to do to get your ID in the Golden State.
- First, you'll need to gather the necessary documents. You'll need to provide proof of your identity, such as a birth certificate or passport, as well as proof of your California residency, such as a utility bill or rental agreement.
- Next, you'll need to fill out an application for a California ID. You can either do this online or in person at a local DMV office.
- Once you've completed the application, you'll need to visit a DMV office to have your photo taken and to provide your signature.
- Finally, you'll need to pay the required fee. The fee for a California ID varies depending on your age and when you apply, so be sure to check the current fee schedule before you visit the DMV.
Once you've completed these steps, you'll be issued a temporary ID card, and your official California ID will be mailed to you within a few weeks.
