DMV office (see “Identification Requirements” below). After reviewing your proofs, a DMV staff member

IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Before DMV can take your photo, you must provide proof of name, and proof of date of birth. All proofs must be
original documents or documents certified by the agency that issued them. At least one proof must show your
signature. Photocopies are not acceptable. Documents of the same type count as only one proof (for example, two
or more credit cards count as only one credit card). For a list of acceptable documents for proof of identity and proof
of date of birth, see DMV form ID-44.
DMV will not accept documents with alterations or erasures. Any such documents may be confiscated.
Warning -
Presenting fraudulent documents may also result in criminal prosecution.
DMV OFFICE INSTRUCTIONS:
Name

Sex
The NYS Department of Labor referred this customer to DMV for an Image Capture Only (ICO) transaction.
(Reminder: The ICO is a no-fee transaction.) If the customer only needs an ICO for the Department of Labor’s
ID card, an MV-44 application is not needed. However, if the customer also wants to obtain a Non-Driver ID
Card, have him/her complete an MV-44, and process as usual.
In either case, review the customer’s proofs of name, date of birth and signature for acceptability. Identify the
proofs the customer provides by checking them on an ID-44. Print the customer’s name, date of birth, and sex
in the spaces above. Staple the office copy of the FS-6T to this page and to the ID-44 (and to the MV-44 if one
is needed), and place the pages in your batch paperwork. Tell the customer to keep his/her copy of the FS-6T,
because he/she will need the client ID# that is printed on the FS-6T.
