Texas DPS requires your course completion certificate, your current Impact Texas Adult Drivers (ITAD) certificate if you are taking the driving test, and documents proving identity, U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, Texas residency, and Social Security number. Check the DPS document checklist before your appointment because requirements can change.
