What documents do I need to bring to apply for a new license?

Asked a year ago
To apply for a new license in Michigan, you will need to bring certain documents. Firstly, you must provide proof of your identity and date of birth, such as a certified birth certificate or valid passport. Additionally, you must bring a Social Security number or a document showing your ineligibility for one. You must also provide proof of your Michigan residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. Furthermore, if you are applying for an enhanced license, which allows for border crossing, you need documents proving your citizenship and identity, like a U.S. passport or certified birth certificate. Remember, these requirements may vary for non-U.S. citizens or individuals with certain circumstances, so it is advised to consult the DMV's website or contact them for specific information before your visit.
