Identification Card

If you need an identification card, you can apply for one at any driver license office. To obtain an identification card, you must:

1. Be 5 years old or older. Any person, regardless of age, can be issued an identification card if applying for a disabled parking permit.
2. Present a primary and secondary identification. See section under Identifying Yourself.
3. Provide your Social Security number (unless one has never been issued).

The card will contain your color photograph, full name, sex, address, date of birth, and other data the Department may require. Identification cards are valid for 4 years. Citizens 60 years of age or older are issued a "non-expiring" identification card.

NOTE: Expiration dates may vary for identification cards issued to Non U.S. citizens.

Driver Licenses Agents (Tax Collectors)

Your local tax collector may provide full or limited driver license services. Additional service fees may be charged if you obtain a driver license or identification card from a licensed agent. Please contact your local tax collector for additional service fee information.

Selective Service

State law requires any male that is a U.S. citizen or immigrant who is at least 18 years old but less than 26 years old, to comply with federal Selective Service System requirements when applying to receive a driver’s license, a learner’s driver’s license, a commercial driver’s license, an identification card, or a renewal or duplicate card or license. Any driver license or identification card application consents to the Federal Selective Service System requirements.
