Many residents, including citizens, do not meet the requirements to receive a state-issued identification, which makes proving their identity for day-to-day activities a challenge. In 2021, the Board of County Commissioners of Broward County passed a resolution authorizing the issuance of Community IDs to Broward residents.
The Broward Community ID is a document that helps residents identify themselves to law enforcement, schools, banks, health centers, some private businesses, social service agencies among others.
After the new law SB1718 that became effective on July 1st, 2023, we are not allowed to receive County financial support anymore to operate the Broward ID project. However, we are continuing the program and issuing the Broward Community ID funded on contributions and private funding. Any resident of Broward County will be able to apply.
Any resident of Broward 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. Immigration status will not be asked.
To apply, attend one of our ID Drive Events taking place periodically in different Broward locations, or make an office appointment.
