3.7. Identification Cards

If you need an identification card, you can apply for one at any driver license office. Persons holding a driver license who wish to obtain a Florida identification card must surrender their driver license. Section 322.08(6) F.S. prohibits a person from holding both a driver license and an identification card. To obtain an identification card, you must:

Be five (5) years of age or older. Any person, regardless of age, can be issued an identification card if applying for a disabled parking permit.
Present required identification. **See section 2 for a list of acceptable primary identification.
Provide proof of your Social Security number (unless one has never been issued). See section 2 for acceptable proof of social security number.
Provide proof of residential address. (Two documents will be required) See section 2 for acceptable proof of residential address.

The card will contain your color photograph, full name, sex, address, date of birth, and other data the Department may require. Identification cards issued to persons 5 to 14 years of age will be valid for four years; all others will be valid for eight years.

NOTE: Expiration dates may vary for identification cards issued to Non-Immigrants.
