If you want to get your card, DHS is hosting a two-week long pop up at 33 Beaver Street for all DHS, TLC and DOP staff beginning Wednesday, November 30th. IDNYC is an official government-issued identification card available to all city residents age 14 and older, regardless of immigration status. The IDNYC card is free for all New Yorkers who apply through December 31, 2016. Cards are valid for five years from the date the application is approved. The application process is accessible to people with limited English proficiency and those with disabilities. IDNYC is an accepted form of photo ID at all City locations and can be used as ID to open a banking account at select financial institutions. You can use your IDNYC card as a library card at any public library in New York, whether it’s part of the New York, Brooklyn, or Queens library systems. IDNYC cards offer one-year free membership at 40 of the city’s leading museums, zoos, concert halls, and cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Bronx Zoo, and discounts on movie tickets, Broadway shows, concerts, prescription drugs, fitness and health centers, and more. If you’re a veteran of the U.S. Armed Services, you can apply for the ‘VETERAN’ designation and be eligible for additional benefits. For more information on the IDNYC Pop Up see below:
