The Department of State offers a state identification card for children in a standard and enhanced version. The enhanced ID card is an attractive alternative to the standard card because it allows you tore-enter the U.S.by land or sea from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean without the need to show additional identity or citizenship documents at the border.
The standard or enhanced state ID card is available for any child or infant at the parent or legal guardian's request.

All Secretary of State offices issue the enhanced driver's license and state ID card. Branch offices will also process license and state ID card renewals, address, name or date of birth changes and duplicates - if your card is lost, damaged or stolen.

The Secretary of State Mobile Branch Office also issues enhanced licenses and ID cards.
