User Question: During a pending asylum case, with an SSN, work permit, and driver's license, can I get a Real ID in New York City?

Expert Answer: Yes, in New York, asylum seekers with a pending case can typically obtain a Real ID if they have valid proof of identity, such as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Social Security Number (SSN). You will also need proof of New York residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. Visit the New York DMV website to check the specific documentation requirements and schedule an appointment.
