In July 2014, Mayor Bill de Blasio signed legislation to create a municipal ID card for all New York City residents – the IDNYC program. The legislation paves the way for the creation of a municipal ID for all residents of the five boroughs who meet the program's proof of identity and city residency requirements. Look below to read this Local Law and several other Executive Orders that have been signed to make IDNYC possible.
