What form of identification must be presented when applying for a learner's permit?

When applying for a learner's permit in Texas, presenting a birth certificate or passport is necessary to establish proof of identity and legal presence in the United States. These documents are official forms of identification that include vital information such as your full name, date of birth, and, in the case of a passport, confirm your citizenship.

The other options do not meet the strict requirements set by the Texas Department of Public Safety. For instance, a school ID may not provide sufficient proof of identity or age, while a sibling's driver’s license does not verify your own identity. Similarly, while a government-issued photo ID might be acceptable under certain circumstances, it is not the primary document required for this specific application.
