MV-45B

The NY DMV MV-45B form, titled Statement of Identity, is a specialized legal affidavit designed for applicants identified as disenfranchised, homeless youth who lack the standard documentation required for a learner permit, driver license, or non-driver ID card. To utilize this form, the applicant must be represented by a government or government-approved facility, and an authorized representative from that facility must accompany the applicant to a DMV office to sign the document in the presence of a DMV representative.

The form serves as a 4-point proof of identity but carries specific limitations: it cannot be used to obtain a Commercial Driver License (CDL), a REAL ID, or an Enhanced document, and it does not satisfy the requirement for proof of date of birth or Social Security status. Key requirements for completion include a formal letter on the facility's letterhead signed by the director, verifying the applicant's personal details and residency at the facility, as well as the representative's own valid New York State photo identification. Making false statements on this certification is a misdemeanor under Section 392 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
