Positive Identification

When you first apply for a Utah Identification Card, you must provide proof of name, date and place of birth, resident address, legal presence, (If applicable), and proof of your social security number.

The division considers a state certified birth certificate (a hospital issued certificate, noncertified copies or miniaturized copies, will not be accepted.) and social security card as best evidence of identification for licensing purposes. Other forms of identification are accepted only if the state certified birth certificate and social security card are not obtainable. The division has discretion to require any additional evidence to verify this important information. Items on the following list are documents that the division may accept, if the state certified birth certificate and/or the social security card cannot be obtained.

• Passport
• Military documents
• Church records
• Nonresident Alien Registration
• Current driver license
• Home mortgage or lease papers
• Matricular Consular/I.D. (Utah only)
• I-94 card or INS I-551 card
