As initial/transfer you'll need the following:
EAD (with I-797 approval notice for DACA)
Social Security Card
2 proofs of address (basically anything from list C here with "NYS Resident - Yes"):

If you're transferring out of state DL then also that. They will likely make you take the written test but you'll get to skip the road test, I've had to do that when I moved from New York to Minnesota.
The documents also need to add up to 6 points for name, EAD (+I-797), and social security card add up to 5 points, so you'll need 1 more point.
Real ID also expires the day the EAD expires, though NYS offers licenses to undocs so if DACA ends you can always renew into the standard license.
