Document Requirements Notice (STAR ID Process)
All required documents must be presented in order to receive service and successfully complete the issuance process. Please refer to the attached STAR ID Document List for full details.
Kindly arrive 5–10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time.
Before your appointment, please check the top left corner of your Alabama Driver License or Identification Card. If you see a star in that corner, you are already STAR ID compliant. If you are visiting to renew, replace, update your address, or change your name, please still attend your scheduled appointment.
If you have not obtained U.S. citizenship, we will not be able to process your documents during this event. In that case, please visit an ALEA Driver License Examining Office for assistance.
Important Notes:
- If you have experienced a name change, you must present a certified legal document (such as a court-ordered name change or marriage certificate).
- Your name must match your Social Security record exactly.
- For example, if you have changed your last name due to marriage, you must first update your name with the Social Security Administration and present your updated Social Security card or official SS printout reflecting the change.
- Please complete your Social Security update at least two (2) days prior to your appointment to allow time for processing before your visit.
