illinois identification
Can an out of state driver&#39;s license be used to verify DOB in Illinois for a state ID?
<p>The <a href="https://www.dmv.org/il-illinois/id-cards.php#IL-ID-Card-Eligibility-Requirements" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DMV page</a> to apply for a state ID or driver's license in Illinois states that you need to bring proof of your date of birth to obtain an ID card. It links to an <a href="https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/dsd_x173.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">acceptable documents PDF</a> which under Group B specifies that an &quot;Illinois Driver's License&quot; is one acceptable form of identification among a handful of others. It does not list out of state identification. Below this list it states</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Group B documents must contain the applicant’s full name and complete date of birth and must be verifiable. To be verifiable, it must be possible to contact the regulatory authority to confirm the authenticity of the document.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The PDF specifically says &quot;<strong>Illinois</strong> Driver's License&quot; but my out of state license lists my full name, date of birth, and it certainly seems like it should be verifiable by their definition.
Can an out of state license be used as proof of date of birth? If it cannot be used, why?</p>

<p>The PDF you linked also lists &quot;REAL ID Driver’s License/ID Card&quot; as an acceptable document in Group B. So, it seems that an out-of-state driver's license may be used to verify DOB, but <em>only</em> if it complies with the REAL ID requirements. Apparently, all 50 states are now issuing REAL IDs, but only 38% of all licenses nationwide are currently REAL ID compliant.</p>
