When getting my Texas driver's license, what can I bring as Proof of my Social Security Number?

Written by Bo

Proof of SSN

When proving your Social Security Number for your Texas driver's license, you can typically bring one of the following:

  • Social Security Card

  • W-2 Form

  • SSA-1099

  • Non-SSA-1099

  • Pay Stub containing individuals name and Social Security number

For the official list of acceptable documents, see the Texas DPS residency and required documents guide: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/driver-license/texas-residency-requirement-driver-licenses-and-id-cards


If you have any questions about acceptable documents, you can always contact your nearest Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) office to confirm before your visit. You can find your nearest office using the DPS office locator: https://www.dps.texas.gov/apps/DriverLicense/OfficeLocations/DLOfficeLocations/SearchResults. The closest example is the Texas DPS – Aransas Pass, 919 S Commercial St, Aransas Pass, TX 78336, (361) 758-8680 · Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm.
