I have my Citizenship interview on Monday. I do not have a state license or State ID. Is this going to be a problem?
I will bring: Green Card, Foreign passport, SS card, for identification purposes. Is this enough??
Will it be a problem that I do not have State ID card? I can bring utility bills and rental agreement to prove 3 month residency.
Please help! Thanks!
 
The importance of the state ID varies with your circumstances and the discretion of the interviewer.

Did you travel abroad extensively? If yes, the lack of a state ID could be a big problem.

Are you applying based on marriage to a US citizen for 3 years? If yes, the state ID is important for showing that you live at the same address with your US citizen spouse.

Yes, my wife and I traveled each year and was out of the country each time for about 4-5 months. And, I am applying based on marriage to a US citizen for 3 years.
Since my interview is on Monday, I have very little time. I can apply for State ID on Saturday, but they will only give me a paper copy. Will that work? Or, can I just bring the rental lease agreement in both of our names, utility bills, bank statements. All have both of our names and current address.
Will that be enough??
Thanks for your help!
 
Getting a new state ID probably now won't help you. They expect that you maintained a state ID when you were traveling abroad for long periods, and for the last 3 months (for the 3-month district residence requirement). Do you have an expired state ID that was valid during your traveling? Bring that. Otherwise, at this point all you can do is take the documents you have and hope for the best.
 
I got a yellow letter specifying to bring my state issued ID or driver's license. I've lived in the same house since I moved here, 12+ years ago.
