The REAL ID Act was passed in 2005, and the Montana Department of Justice has been issuing REAL IDs since 2018. In order to get a REAL ID from MVD Express Montana, you must bring the following documents:

• Proof of identity (including name, date of birth, and authorized presence)
• Proof of Montana residency
• Proof of a name change (if applicable)

All submitted documents must be unaltered, and some documents must be certified by the issuing agency.
