How to Apply

Appointments are now required at all IDNYC locations. We will not see walk-ins. Appointments are released each week on Friday, for the following Monday through Friday. To schedule an appointment, click here or call 311 to make an appointment. Do not book more than one appointment per person. If you cannot make it to your scheduled appointment, please cancel, and reschedule for a later date or time.

Please arrive on time for your appointment.

You can fill out and submit your application at an Enrollment Center:

Confirm you have the correct documents to apply. The IDNYC program uses a point system to determine if applicants are able to prove identity and residency in New York City. You will need three (3) points worth of documents to prove your identity and a one (1) point document to prove your residency. All applicants applying on their own must provide photo identification and a document with their date of birth. Use the IDNYC Document Calculator to see what documents you can give us.

If you are also applying for the IDNYC U.S. Veteran Designation, you will need one more document to prove your veteran status. The IDNYC Veteran Designation is available to all veterans who served in the active military service of the United States and who have been released from their service, unless by dishonorable discharge.
