You can complete all your forms using our online notary service in under 15 minutes. As soon as you complete your first notary session, you will see your address populate on the "Address" tab of the customer portal. So, technically, you can sign up and get your address all under 15 minutes.
Next, to get your Texas driver's license, you will need to bring these documents. For your second proof of address, you will need to bring a bank statement, credit card statement, or cell phone bill (there are other options, but these are the generally the easiest to obtain). You can review the Texas DPS acceptable proof-of-address options here: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/driver-license/texas-residency-requirement-driver-licenses-and-id-cards This item does not need to be an actual mail item -- it just needs to be printed. You can obtain this second proof very quickly by either (1) updating your address and going into a local bank branch and asking for a printed statement of balances that shows your Texas residential address in Rockport, TX -- the branches in Aransas county, TX are often very helpful in producing this document; or (2) signing up for a pre-paid cell phone bill with US mobile. This latter option costs around $44 (as of 2025), but allows you to get your second proof instantly. (Do not do the $10 option as it does not put your US number on the receipt).
Finally, it's important to note that you will need to visit Texas in person to get your driver's license. We strongly advise going to your nearest Texas DPS office to get your license — you can find it using the DPS office locator. The closest example is the Texas DPS – Aransas Pass, located at 919 S Commercial St, Aransas Pass, TX 78336, (361) 758-8680 · Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm. If you go elsewhere, please be aware of the changes to the documents you need to bring.
By completing your documents using the online notary and obtaining your second proof of address using one of the suggested methods, you can technically complete the entire process in a single day (assuming you can travel to Texas that quickly).
Important: this timeline assumes you are surrendering a valid, unexpired driver's license or ID from another state, which waives the 30-day Texas residency requirement. If your out-of-state license is expired, or you do not have one, one of your two proofs of residency must instead show that you have lived in Texas for at least 30 days — which will extend your timeline.
What is the absolute fastest possible way I can complete all the steps and get my Texas driver's license?
