REAL ID license now available in Louisiana

To get a REAL ID license or identification card, people will need to present documents to verify their identity, such as a birth certificate, an unexpired passport, a social security card or other options. Proof of Louisiana residency through at least two documents verifying a home address, such as a phone bill or utility bill, also will be required.
