ID Card

Florida’s ID card functions exactly the same as a driver license for the purpose of providing proof of identification. It can be used in airports, doctor’s offices, banks or anywhere a photo identification is needed. In addition, the documentation needed for an identification card is the same as a driver license. Customers may obtain an ID card at a Florida driver license service center.
