The Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is making it easier for Idaho residents to upgrade to a Star Card, Idaho’s REAL ID.
Starting Thursday, April 24, a temporary Star Card service station will open at 11331 W. Chinden Blvd., Building 8, in Garden City. Walk-in service is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., through the building’s front entrance. No appointment is needed. This service is for Star Card upgrades only-new license issuance and standard renewals are not offered at this location.
Customers must bring the required documents to receive a Star Card. If the correct documents are not provided, the Star Card cannot be issued. A full checklist of acceptable documents is available at itd.idaho.gov/starcard, and it is critical to review this list before arriving.
Only debit or credit card payments will be accepted-no cash or checks.
The Star Card is a federally accepted form of ID. Starting May 7, 2025, travelers will need a REAL ID or another federally approved ID to fly domestically or enter certain federal facilities. Those who already have a Star Card and need to renew can do so online at dmv.idaho.gov.
This on-site service provides a convenient way for residents to meet federal requirements ahead of the upcoming deadline.
