Which of the following documents can be used to prove identity for purposes of obtaining a driver's license?

Credit card
Social Security Number
Birth certificate
Valid passport

The correct answer is: Valid passport

Your valid passport can serve as proof of identity when applying for a driver's license. A credit card or social security number may help to confirm your identity, but does not serve as sufficient proof. A birth certificate only confirms your place of birth and date of birth but does not provide a photo identification or current legal name. In contrast, a valid passport is a government-issued photo identification with your current legal name and proof of citizenship. Therefore, it is the most appropriate document to use for proving your identity when applying for a driver's license.
