2. Photo ID: A valid New York state-issued ID or driver's license to verify your identity. Out-of-state IDs are not accepted.

3. Proof of Residency: Documentation proving residency within New York. This could be a utility bill, lease agreement, or any official document bearing your name and address within the state.
