Yes. You are correct.
What should I do if i do not have a New York State driver license but still wanted to drive a taxi or livery vehicle in New York City?
First you need to get a Class E driver license instead of Class D. Then, you would need to contact the Taxi and Limousine Commission [ 6 ] and take not that from October 2020 onward, to board a domestic flight, you  will need an Enhanced or REAL ID unless you already have a passport.
Could i just use the Standard ones for traveling?
