Add the Star

Build a personal checklist of the documents you will need to satisfy Idaho’s identification requirements by using the Add the Star Tool below. Just follow the steps indicated on the top of each page. (The checklist is for your personal use – you will not be asked to present this to get a DL or ID.)

Disclaimer: Using the Add the Star Tool does not guarantee you will be able to obtain a Star Card. There are special circumstances that are not covered by the tool. Please contact DMV if you have questions about or need assistance with the documents required to obtain a Star Card.

Step 2 – Check your name

INSTRUCTIONS: Check Yes or No to each question below to proceed to step 3.

Is your current full legal name the same as the name listed on the identity document you checked in step 1?

Yes
No

INSTRUCTIONS: Applicants who have changed or established a new name through marriage, adoption, court order, or other mechanisms are required to provide documentation linking all name changes made since birth.

Accepted documents include recorded or certified marriage license(s), divorce decree(s) or court directed name change(s).
Photocopies are not accepted. A certified marriage license proves that the marriage has been recorded by the issuing agency/office and is dated after the ceremony date. In most cases, if your marriage license has original inked signatures and it was given to you directly after the ceremony by the officiant that married you, it is not a recorded and certified document. Contact the agency/office that issued the license for the required recorded or certified document.

U.S. certified birth certificate from Vital Statistics (see Step 1 for criteria)
Certified and recorded marriage certificate(s) from Vital Statistics or county recorder/clerk
Court order petition for name change (stamped with court seal)
Court order for name change in divorce decree or decree of annulment (stamped with court seal) Court order for name change in a decree of adoption (stamped with court seal)
