- . Proof of birth: A birth certificate, U.S. passport, or Illinois Identification Card
- . Proof of Social Security number: Documentation that shows your Social Security number
- . Proof of residency: Two documents that show you are an Illinois resident, such as bank statements, utility bills, or education transcripts
