Documents to bring
For a first Class PD application, bring original or certified identity documents: the handbook requires a primary ID and a second item from its primary or secondary lists., Provide citizenship or lawful permanent resident evidence for a regular permit; temporary legal presence uses the separate temporary-license process., Bring two acceptable Tennessee residency documents, name-change evidence when applicable, and your Social Security number or the sworn affidavit for someone never assigned a number., Applicants under 18 also need the responsible adult affidavit and appropriate school-status evidence. See the teen requirements for exceptions and school-form timing.
