Need for the Document

• A state-issued identity card in the United States is an official identification document issued by a state government agency, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the Department of Public Safety.
• It is commonly known as a "state ID" or a "non-driver ID," and serves as an official government-issued identification document for individuals who do not have a driver's license.

Information which might help

• State-issued ID cards typically include a photograph, full legal name, date of birth, address, and a unique identification number. They are accepted as a form of identification by government agencies, businesses, and other organizations that require proof of identity.
• To obtain a state-issued ID card, an individual must typically provide proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport, and proof of residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. The specific requirements and application process vary by state, but typically involve visiting a DMV office, submitting an application, providing the necessary documents, and paying a fee.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

• The State Issued Identity card is used as proof of identity.
