Even if you already have a license, it might expire sometime soon. If you live in Virginia, then you might have a harder time getting a license than if you live in Maryland or work in DC, both of which are likely to have different license requirements.

Things You Need
Now let’s turn our attention to things you need when applying for a license. For one, you must be able to prove that you reside in the state. Birth certificates and passports can help prove where you live. Also bring leases, bills, or mortgage statements verifying where you live. An original Social Security card is necessary for this, or you can use bank statements or paystubs that have your SSN on it.
Educational Guidelines
Not all applicants are teenagers, but most are going to be first time drivers. Every new driver must display that they have the proper education in order to gain a license.
