What is a Miami-Dade Community ID?
Many residents, including citizens, do not meet the necessary requirements to receive a driver’s license or state-issued identification.
The Miami-Dade Community ID makes it easier for them to identify themselves to law enforcement, schools, health centers, city departments, and social service agencies.
Who can apply?
Any resident of Miami-Dade County can apply for a Community ID card.
This ID is especially useful to formerly incarcerated persons, foster youth, transgender persons, the homeless, new immigrants, refugees, or anyone who might face difficulties obtaining a state-issued ID.
Here are just a few of the places you can use this ID.
- Miami-Dade Public Libraries
- CAHSD ( Community Action and Human Services Department)
- DTPW (Department of Transportation and Public Works)
- MDFR ( Miami-Dade Fire Rescue)
- PROS (Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department)
- WASD ( Water and Sewer Department)
Important Notes:
- This is NOT a federal ID and cannot be used to drive, travel by plane or vote.
- It does NOT affect immigration
