Does the driver's license justify his identity?

Verified 11 August 2025 - Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Yes, a driver's license can be accepted as proof of identity if the photograph is similar.

However, it depends on the circumstances and the authority that requests it. Indeed, every public administration or legal person public or private is free to choose the list of documents it accepts to prove identity.

For example, for prove your identity when applying for a driver's license renewal, a driver's license issued after January 19, 2013 is accepted if your photograph is similar.
