<li><p>Can I bring my transcript instead of my report card? I don’t have any copies of my report card in my house.</p></li>
<li><p>Since they say no photocopies, does that mean I can just bring the physical ID?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Ummmm...Why do they need to see a grade card? If you have a passport, that's good ID. And yes, you must take the physical ID. I've never heard of a DMV needing to see a grade card, though I suppose that could be different in other states. The insurance company needed to see it for the good student discount, but not the DMV. Check with the rules again.</p>
<p>My passport is expired, so I can't use that. One of the available options is to bring a report card with ID, along with other things.</p>
<p>If you have to use a grade card, go to the school and get a copy. I don't know that they'd accept a transcript, though in theory, they should. You can always try it. Most DMV workers wouldn't know the difference between the two.</p>
<p>If you have your birth certificate and social security card, those are also good forms of ID. I would be skeptical of grade cards.</p>
<p>Yup, but New York has a stupid "point system" which applicants must meet before taking a driving test.</p>

<p>I was going to try using the transcript, but it's a copy too and I would hate to wait in line just to get sent back. I guess I'll head to school tomorrow first.</p>
<p>Oh and wait till you get there and they say no to perfectly good documents or points.</p>
