Expert Answer: Yes, an asylum seeker can apply for a REAL ID, but requirements vary by state. Generally, you will need:
1. **Proof of Identity** – Your unexpired Employment Authorization Document (EAD) or a USCIS receipt notice for your pending asylum application (Form I-797 for Form I-589).
2. **Social Security Number (SSN)** – Your SSN card or a letter from the Social Security Administration stating ineligibility.
3. **Proof of Residency** – Utility bills, lease agreements, or bank statements with your name and address.
Check with your state's DMV for specific requirements as some states may have additional rules for asylum seekers.
