Free Federal ID Card Program to Ensure Inclusive Access to Identification.
This Act mandates the Social Security Administration (SSA) to create and issue a free federal identification card to US residents aged 14 and older. This ID must be accepted for all purposes where a state driver's license or ID is currently required, significantly easing identification requirements for vulnerable populations. The application process will be streamlined, including options for online submission and full service at US Post Office locations.
Key points
A free federal ID card issued by the SSA, valid for 10 years, accepted equally to State-issued driver's licenses or ID cards.
Enhanced accessibility: Applications can be submitted through the US Postal Service (USPS), including full service at post offices with free photography.
Special validity rules: Individuals 65 and older will have their ID deemed valid indefinitely after the initial 10-year period expires, without needing further renewal.
The ID includes options for gender identification: Male, Female, and X (unspecified or other gender identity).
