1: A new Yorker.
When it comes time to get your license permit or non-driver ID in the year to
date, you now have three options. So which one's right for you.
That's what we want to help you with that.
Here's the deal because of the federal real ID act, your regular old license,
isn't going to be accepted alone as proof of ID for domestic air flights,
take a look.
The new standard New York state licensed permit or non-driver ID will now be
marked not for federal purposes. And like I said,
it won't get you onto a plane for a trip within the U S without additional ID,
like a passport. If you don't want to carry around more than one ID,
when you fly and you want to have a license permit or non-driver ID that will
get you on a domestic flight, get the real ID.
There's no additional cost for the real ID,
but you will have to come down to the DMV with two forms of proof that you're a
New York state resident.
In addition to the normal proofs of identity that you need for the standard,
You have one more choice. You can also get the enhanced.
This has been around for a little while. So some of you may already have one,
just like the real ID you'll need to come to the DMV. In-person to get one,
the enhanced we'll get you onto a domestic flight.
Plus it comes with the added bonus of getting you back into the country at land
borders like between New York and Canada.
But there are a couple of things that you need to be aware of. First,
you'll need to show proof that you're both a us citizen and a New York state
resident.
In addition to proving your identity and the enhanced will cost you $30 more
than the standard or real ID.
There are also small differences in how they look. As I told you earlier,
the standard is marked not for federal purposes. You see it there in the upper,
right? The real ID has a star in the top right corner.
And the enhanced has a banner that says enhanced on top and a flag on the
bottom, right? All three choices, the standard,
the real ID and the enhanced are available to drivers and non-drivers
and back to figuring out what you need to bring into an office.
We've made that easy.
We've set up a fast and simple view service on our website that will walk you
through the process to make sure that you have the right documents before you go
to the DMV,
just go to DMV dot N y.gov/realizing to get started.
