Temporary Drivers License

ipap — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:01:31 GMT

I have a temporary NY drivers license. The physical card just expired. Do I fill in the interim license? There is a "status terminates on” date and “this document expires” date on the interim license. Which expiration do I use? Is the issue date the day I went to the DMV?

In an effort to help protect your identity and fight tax fraud, the IRS and many state tax offices are now asking that tax filers provide their driver’s license or state-issued ID number.

Providing this info is not required to file your Federal taxes. However, in some states, omitting this info may delay the processing of your return.

If you use software to prepare your (and your spouse's, if applicable) personal income tax return, New York State requires you to include your driver's license or non-driver ID information on the return. This applies to both you and your spouse. If you or your spouse do not have a driver's license or non-driver ID, you can indicate that within the software to fulﬁll this requirement. See here for more information from New York.

If you currently have an interim license, you can enter the expiration date and other information from that form.

Is the expiration date on an interim license the expiration of the temporary license or the status termination date (what would be the expiration date) in 8 years?

The expiration date of the the interim license. NY is looking for active driving documents to verify you.
