This is to keep track of those who travel through our town for the purposes of protecting our residents. You are free to ask to see their permits.

The Real ID Act

If your NYS license or ID does not have a star or a flag on it, then you do not have a REAL ID-compliant document. A REAL ID is a federally compliant DMV issues driver license, learner permit, or other non-driver ID that is required to board a somestice flight (within the U.S.) or enter certain federal buildings, unless you have a valid passport.

Clerk's Note:

Please note that one form of proff of ID id your legal name, which affects many women, as marriage and divorce changes out names. The DMV will ask you to provide proof of your past name changes, To do so, you must locate the town, city, or village where you obtained your marriage license and request a certified transcript. The cost is $10 to search and, if available, provide the transcripts. This procedure requires payment up front along with the application. Photo ID is required, with completed application. This procedure does take research and time. Please consider this at the time of the request.

Bring Proof of Your Full, Legal Name

DMV may only print your legal name on a REAL ID or enhanced document. A nickname, like an abbreviated or alternate version of your legal name, is not allowed. If a nickname, abbreviated name, or confirmation name appears on any of your proof documents, additional proof of full, legal name, or proof of a court-ordered name change, must be shown.

If your name has changed once or multiple times due to marriage or divorce, for example, proof of each change,such as a marriage certificate or divorce decree, must be provided to show the connection.
