Human: Can I drive with a state ID, or do I need a driver's license?

Assistant: State-issued driver's licenses are required for driving in every state of the U.S. If you hold a valid state ID, most states will allow you to use it as additional information, but there are some differences in the rules between states. It's generally best to contact your DMV in your state to find out more information about getting a driver's license.

Assistant: Yes, most states provide for the use of state-issued ID cards for proof of identity in that state.  Unfortunately, state IDs are not always as widely accepted as driver’s licenses; not all service and public buildings may recognize them and some retailers may require a driver’s license.  You'll want to check with individual places that you want to drive to.
