COLUMBUS, Ohio — Starting Monday, July 2, Ohioans have the option of getting a “compliant” driver’s license or identification card from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
If you want to use your state-issued license or ID to access federal facilities and pass airport security starting in October 2020, you’ll need a compliant card.
Cards are good for four years. If yours expires between now and 2020, it may be worth the effort to get a compliant card.
Ohioans can still get “standard” licenses and ID cards. The cost for the cards is the same: $25.75. If you opt for a standard license or ID, you will be able to access federal facilities and fly within the U.S. with a valid passport.
You’ll need to bring a few additional documents with you to the BMV to renew an expiring card or get a new one.
You can choose from several document types to satisfy the three requirements: Legal name, date of birth and proof of residence; Social Security Number; and address.
A current U.S. passport will satisfy the requirement to prove your legal name, date of birth and legal U.S. residen
Full legal name, date of birth and proof of legal U.S. residence
Choose one:
- Birth certificate
- Unexpired U.S. passport or passport card
- Permanent resident card
- Certificate of naturalization
- Certificate of citizenship
If your full legal name is different from that on your birth certificate, you’ll also need to bring one of the following:
- Marriage certificate or license
- Court-certified copy of a court-ordered name change or
- Court-certified copy of decree of divorce or annulment.
A W-2 wage and tax form including a full Social Security Number counts as proof of a valid Social Security Number
Choose one:
- Social Security card issued by the Social Security Administration
- A W-2 wage and tax statement
- A 1099 wage form
A statement for a major credit card or retail credit card issued within the last 60 days can count as one of two required documents showing the correct current address.
Choose two to verify your current street address:
- An Ohio driver’s license, learner’s permit, commercial driver’s license, motorcycle operator’s license or identification card that is current or has been expired for less than six months.
- Ohio BMV vehicle registration renewal notice.

- Certified school record or transcript.
- Installment loan contract from a bank or other financial institution.
