IDNYC is the free identification card for all New York City residents, which gives all of us the opportunity to show who we are-New Yorkers. As a government-issued photo identification card, IDNYC secures peace of mind and access to City services that come from having recognized identification. IDNYC benefits every city resident, including the most vulnerable communities-the homeless, youth, the elderly, undocumented immigrants, the formerly incarcerated, and others who may have difficulty obtaining other government-issued ID.
IDNYC cardholders can access services and programs offered by the City as well as by businesses. IDNYC helps enhance public safety, by serving as a recognized ID for interacting with NYPD. It also helps New Yorkers gain access to all City buildings that provide services to the public and is accepted as a form of identification for accessing numerous City programs and services. IDNYC also provides a dynamic series of benefits to cardholders, including a free one-year membership at many of the City's leading museums, zoos, concert halls, and botanical gardens.
