Mississippi DMV FAQ

Mississippi is REAL ID compliant. This means that licenses and IDs issued by the DPS in Mississippi are able to be used to fly and any other requirements for federal identification. This is for security reasons, and by October 2021, all identification must be compliant. All Mississippi driver’s licenses are now issued with the REAL ID gold star.

You can renew your Mississippi state driver’s license online using the Mississippi DSB’s online services which are linked above.

A wide range of documents can be used as identification when getting your license, depending on how you are registering. Mississippi residents under seventeen must have a birth certificate, social security card, school form, and two proofs of residence, as well as a parental signature. New Mississippi residents need an out-of-state license or ID card and social security card, two proofs of residence, and a birth certificate. In general, a valid U.S. passport is an acceptable form of ID. Marriage certificates, court orders, and the like can be used as secondary support documents. More information is available here.
