What Documents to Bring for a Driver License or ID Card

For a new driver license or ID card, bring proof of identity (passport, military ID, or birth certificate), proof of Social Security number (Social Security card, W-2, or tax return), and proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days). Your name on the residency document must match your ID.

If you are renewing a license that has not expired more than one year ago, you can renew by mail or online through the Idaho DMV website — you do not need to visit Rexburg in person. If your license expired more than one year ago, you must come to the office and bring the same documents as a new applicant.

Bring your current license or ID if you have one. If you are changing your name, bring a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the legal change.

What Documents to Bring for Vehicle Registration and Titles

For vehicle registration, bring your current registration, proof of insurance, and proof of residency. If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Idaho, bring the title from your previous state, a bill of sale, and a completed process for Title and Registration (Form ITD 43).

For a title transfer, bring the current title, a bill of sale signed by the seller, and proof of residency. If the vehicle has a lien, the lienholder's name appears on the title, and you may need written permission from them to transfer it. The Rexburg office can explain what the lien holder requires.

Bring your insurance card or a letter from your insurance company showing your policy number and coverage dates. Idaho requires proof of insurance before registration is issued.

Address Changes and License Updates

You can change your address on your driver license or ID card online through the Idaho DMV website without visiting the office, as long as your license is not expired. The change takes effect when ready, and you do not receive a new card in the mail — your current license remains valid with the old address printed on it until it expires.

If you prefer a new card with your updated address, or if your license is expired, visit the Rexburg office in person. Bring proof of your new address (utility bill, lease, or bank statement) and your current license. There is no fee to change your address.

If you move out of Idaho, you must surrender your Idaho license and obtain a license in your new state. The Rexburg office can tell you what to do with your old license when you leave.

Duplicate Licenses and Replacement Cards

If your license or ID card is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can order a duplicate online through the Idaho DMV website for a fee of $10. The replacement card arrives by mail in 7 to 10 business days. You do not need to visit the Rexburg office unless you need the card the same day.

If you need a replacement when ready, visit the office in person with proof of identity and proof of residency. The staff can issue a temporary paper license on the spot while your permanent card is mailed to you. Bring your current license if you have it.

Real ID Compliant Licenses

Idaho driver licenses are Real ID compliant, which means they meet federal standards for boarding domestic flights and entering federal buildings. All new licenses and renewals issued since 2018 are Real ID compliant by default — you do not need to request it or pay extra.

If your license was issued before 2018, it is not Real ID compliant. You can renew it early at the Rexburg office to get a compliant license, or you can continue using it for driving and carry a passport for air travel. Starting May 7, 2025, a non-compliant license will not be accepted for domestic flights, though you can still use it to drive.

When you renew or replace your license, bring the same documents as for a new license. The office will issue a Real ID compliant card automatically.

Payment Methods and Fees

The Rexburg DMV accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards. Exact fees depend on the service: a new driver license costs around $40, a renewal costs around $30, vehicle registration varies by vehicle weight and type, and a title transfer costs around $15. Call the office at (208) 356-5600 to confirm the exact fee for your service before you arrive.

The office does not accept personal checks. If you are paying for multiple services at once, ask the staff to itemize the charges so you know what each one costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my license online instead of going to the Rexburg office?

Yes, if your license expired less than one year ago and you have not changed your name or address. Go to the Idaho DMV website, enter your license number and date of birth, and pay the renewal fee online. Your new license arrives by mail in 7 to 10 business days. If your license expired more than one year ago, you must visit the office in person.

What if I don't have proof of residency?

Proof of residency must be a document dated within the last 60 days showing your name and current address — a utility bill, lease, or bank statement. If you have just moved and do not have a dated document yet, call the Rexburg office at (208) 356-5600 and ask what alternatives they accept. Some offices will accept a letter from your landlord or a recent mail from a government agency.

How long does it take to get a new title after I buy a vehicle?

If you bring all required documents to the Rexburg office, the staff can issue a temporary title on the spot. The permanent title arrives by mail in 2 to 4 weeks. If the vehicle has a lien, the lienholder's name appears on the permanent title, and the process may take longer if the lienholder needs to sign off.

Do I need an appointment to visit the Rexburg DMV?

No. The office operates on a first-come, first-served basis. You can walk in any weekday during business hours. To minimize wait time, arrive early in the morning or mid-week, and call ahead to confirm you have the right documents.

What should I do if the office is closed when I need service?

Many DMV services can be completed online through the Idaho DMV website, including license renewal, address changes, and duplicate card orders. If you need in-person service and the Rexburg office is closed, the next full-service DMV office is in Idaho Falls, about 30 miles away. Call the Rexburg office at (208) 356-5600 to ask about alternatives or to schedule a visit when they reopen.
