Obtaining an Arizona State ID or Driver License
3d Take-off Ready Printing Obtaining a Copy of your Birth Certificate
3d Take-off Ready Printing
A state ID is essential for taking care of your basic needs. You need state ID to access services like food stamps, housing, or medical insurance. Without an ID, you are unlikely to be hired for a job or accepted into school. You also run the risk of being arrested or hassled by the police. We encourage everyone to obtain an Arizona ID as soon after you arrive in Arizona as possible.
- I’ve had an Arizona ID or Driver License in the past. How many identifying documents will I need to show before I can have another copy of my ID or Driver License?
None! If you have had an Arizona ID since 1995, but your ID was lost or stolen, the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) will reissue your ID card for $12. You will not need to bring any identification with you since your information and photo will appear in the MVD database. If the last time you had an Arizona ID was before 1995, you will need to start the application process over as though you have never had Arizona ID.
- I’ve never had an Arizona ID before. How do I get one for the first time?
If you’ve never had an Arizona ID, you will need to prove your identification, age, and authorized permanent residence. You will need to show only two documents, a primary and secondary document, if one is a photo ID. If you have no acceptable form of photo ID, then you will need a total of three documents: one primary document and two secondary documents.
The MVD lists its Identification Requirements here or you can find further explanation below.
- What is a primary document?
You must have a primary document to obtain an Arizona state ID. The most common primary document is a birth certificate, issued by any state.
If you are Native American or born outside the U.S., the following documents may take the place of a birth certificate: a U.S. certificate of birth abroad; a U.S. passport or passport card; Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood; Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth; Foreign Passport with U.S. Visa; Permanent Resident Card; Employment Authorization Card; U.S. Certificate of Naturalization; or a U.S. Certificate of Citizenship.

Less common forms of secondary ID include: a Certified Letter of Identification for a Ward of the Court; a U.S. Military Dependent Card; a U.S. Armed Forces Driver License; a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Card; a U.S. Department of Justice Inmate ID Card; a Concealed Weapons Permit; a Professional License; a Legal Guardian Certificate; a Motor Vehicle Record; or a Decree from Court of Record about adoption, bankruptcy, divorce, emancipation, legal guardianship, or a name change.

3d Take-off Ready Printing If you’ve had an Arizona ID recently, since 1995, you can go to the MVD to get a duplicate copy of your Arizona ID without any form of identification. However, if you’ve never had an Arizona ID before, you will first need to obtain a state-issued copy of your birth certificate. - Will I need any special documents if I changed my name?
If you changed your name because you were adopted, got married or divorced, you will need to show your adoption records, marriage license or divorce decree. If you changed your name for any other reason, you will need to show legal proof of the name change, issued by a state or federal court. Legal volunteers on the Human Services campus can help you file for a legal name change. - 3d Take-off Ready Printing I have all the required forms of ID. What else do I need for a Driver License?
If you’re applying for your first Driver License, you will need to take a vision test, a written knowledge test, and a driving test. If you’re taking a driving test, the MVD requires that you bring a car that has current registration and plates.
If you’ve had a Driver License in another state, you do not need to take the written or driving test and you do not need to bring a car, but you will need to take the vision test and pay a fee.
If you had an Arizona Driver License in the past, but it was revoked, canceled, or expired for over a year, you will need to take a driving test again. You will need to bring a car with current registration and plates.

- 3d Take-off Ready Printing What kind of identifying documents will I need to obtain a birth certificate?
Everything about the process of applying for your birth certificate depends on the state where you were born. If you were born in:
- Alabama, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, Vermont, Washington, or West Virginia: you do not need any ID to apply.
- Indiana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin: you need a valid Arizona ID card that lists your current address, where you would like your birth certificate sent.
All other states require a valid state ID, with no address requirements.
- I was born in a state that requires ID to apply for a birth certificate, but I don’t have any ID. What do I do?

Arkansas, Cook County (IL), D.C., Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York City, North Carolina, Oklahoma, or Texas: We can send a letter on your behalf. Some of these states require documents accompanying the letter; for example, Oklahoma requires a piece of mail in your name, Florida asks for any document with your name on it, and Mississippi wants a copy of your Human Services ID.
Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New York City, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin, or Wyoming: We can notarize the application if you can find someone with a valid state ID who can attest to your identity. A few states have odd exceptions. Georgia allows an Employee ID. Idaho will take a DOC ID. Illinois (except Cook County) will accept two forms of non-state ID. Pennsylvania will take a letter from a case manager at a shelter. New York (except New York City) requires two letters sent to the same address within 6 months.

- I lost my Permanent Resident Card or Employment Authorization Card. Can you help?
Yes, we can apply to have these cards re-issued. Before we start the application, we will need four pieces of information: your alien registration number (A #), your date of entry to the U.S., the city where you first arrived in the U.S., and your Category (e.g. C18 or P26). If you do not know these facts, we can help you set up an initial appointment with immigration so you can ask for this information.
- I’ve never had any kind of U.S. immigration documents. What should I do?
Unfortunately, this can be a more complicated legal process and is outside the scope of our work. We can refer you to another organization with more specialized knowledge about first-time immigration applications.
