REAL ID RMV Requirements

You’ll also need to decide between a Standard driver’s license/ID or a REAL ID driver’s license/ID. REAL ID is a federal ID that you can use to fly within the United States or enter federal buildings beginning May 7, 2025.

To obtain a REAL ID from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles you'll need a variety of different identification documents first. For an updated list of documents you are required to provide, please visit the Massachusetts Identification (ID) Requirements page on Mass.gov. You can also start your application online by visiting the myRMV Online Service Center.

What Can I Get from the Office of the Town Clerk?

A variety of these documents may be available from the Office of the Town Clerk:

• Certified version of U.S. Birth Certificate ($10 per copy) - if you were born in Lakeville or lived in Lakeville upon your birth, we may have that record. More information can be obtained at the link provided.
• Certified copy of Marriage Certificate ($10 per copy) - your marriage certificate lives where you filed your marriage intentions ahead of your marriage. If you filed your marriage intentions here in Lakeville, the Town of Lakeville will have your marriage certificate.
