The types of documents you are required to provide DC DMV depend on the type of driver license you are seeking to obtain. If you have lived in the District of Columbia for 60 days or more and you drive a vehicle in public, you must get a driver license from DC DMV-unless you are a student, diplomat, active military member, part-time resident, member of Congress, or presidential appointee and are thus eligible for driving privilege reciprocity with your home state or jurisdiction.
