Frequently Asked Questions: AAA DMV Services


Can I get a Real ID at my AAA branch?

While you can accomplish many DMV-related services at AAA, you unfortunately cannot get a Real ID at your local AAA branch.

You’ll need to visit your local DMV office for that. When you go, make sure to bring:

  • Proof of your identity, such as your birth certificate or passport;
  • Your Social Security number or a document that shows it, such as a W-2 form;
  • Two documents that show proof of your home address, such as a rental agreement or utility bill.

For more information, visit the U.S. Department of Homeland Security website.


Can AAA do a VIN verification?

Yes, VIN verification is one of the many DMV services AAA branches can assist you with. Your local AAA branch can verify a VIN (vehicle identification number) for information on the vehicle’s history. A VIN verification can tell you, for example, whether the vehicle has been involved in a collision or if it was stolen and its VIN was replaced.

Depending on where you live, VIN verification might be required to register or title a car from out of state. It’s smart to run a VIN verification on any used car you intend to buy.

* DMV services available to AAA Members only in Northern California branches. A fee of up to 1.72% will be charged by AAA NCNU when you pay for a California DMV transaction by credit card.
