Driver’s License & Photo ID

If you’re looking to get a driver’s license or photo ID in Arkansas, here’s what you need to know:

Driver’s License: To obtain a driver’s license in Arkansas, you will need to visit a local Arkansas State Police Driver Services Testing Center. You will need to provide proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport, and proof of residency, such as a utility bill or bank statement. You will also need to pass a vision test, written test, and driving test.

Once you pass these tests and pay the required fees, you will be issued a temporary license, which you can use until your permanent license arrives in the mail. It’s important to note that if you are under 18, there are additional requirements, such as completing a driver’s education course.

Photo ID: If you’re not planning to drive, but need a government-issued photo ID for identification purposes, you can obtain a photo ID from the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. You will need to provide the same documentation as for a driver’s license, including proof of identity and residency. Once you’ve completed the application process and paid the required fees, your photo ID will be issued.

It’s important to note that the process for obtaining a driver’s license or photo ID in Arkansas can vary based on your individual circumstances, such as if you’re a new resident or have a previous license from another state. You can find more detailed information on the Arkansas State Police and Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration websites.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Best of luck obtaining your driver’s license or photo ID in Arkansas!
