GET A REAL ID COMPLIANT DRIVER'S LICENSE OR STATE ID IN MINUTES HERE AT ABC TITLE

REAL ID enforcement is now in effect for domestic air travel and access to certain federal facilities. If your Louisiana driver’s license or state ID is not REAL ID-compliant, you may need another acceptable form of identification, such as a valid passport, to board a commercial flight or enter certain federal buildings.

ABC Title is authorized to issue REAL ID-compliant Louisiana driver’s licenses and state ID cards. We can upgrade your current Louisiana driver’s license, learner’s permit, or state ID to a REAL ID-compliant credential quickly and conveniently.

For most applicants, upgrading to REAL ID requires:

  • One primary document, such as an unexpired U.S. passport or original/certified birth certificate
  • Verification of your Social Security number
  • Two printed proofs of Louisiana residency showing your full name and current address

All documents must be original or certified copies and must be provided in paper form so they can be scanned and submitted to the state. Digital copies cannot be accepted.

If your name has changed and your primary document shows a previous name, bring certified documentation connecting your current name to the name on your identity document, such as a marriage license, divorce decree, or court order.
