FYI you need a current license, certified birth certificate, SSN card and 2 utility bills. Not sure why dmv couldn't have stated this to me directly
Birth certificate or pasport
You can find the information you need about the REAL ID license option, including a list of documents here: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/realid/ You may want to check out the REAL ID Wizard, which can help you decide whether a REAL ID is right for you. You can find that here: https://ridor.typeform.com/to/epESv8
