easiest state to get id in?

[joeycalzone]

Need to get a new id and want to figuer out where is easiest to get a new one. I havent done it in years but in SC they used to print them out at the dmv! Help!! Thanx

Do you have a birth certificate? I ask this question because with out a birth certificate they won't give you an ID unless your in your home state. Not sure about the easiest state the last time I got new ID I was in my home state in Ok I'm from a small town called Nowata Ok. Pikeville Kentucky was easy they took your pic and printed it out for you.

Some homeless service places or churches can help you get it but be prepared to have to stick around for awhile.

 

[lone wolf]

i think the feds past a law a few years ago making it more difficult in every state. here in florida you need birth certificate, social security card and 2 proofs of address.
like Fox Spirit mentioned check local homeless services. they might even pay for it. they paid for mine a decade ago when i moved down here.

There are a few states left which are not federally compliant in the ID department, these states will most assuredly have lower standards.

Bit far away if you're in SC, but in AZ you don't need proof of residence, which had always been the hurdle for me. If you have an expired card from another state, they'll give you an AZ card same day, and it's valid for 50 years or something crazy. If you lose it, you can answer a few online security questions and they'll mail you a new one for $16. Might have needed a birth certificate, too, but I forget. I had one but don't know if they needed it.... Anyway, it's something to check out.

When I got a new State ID I was so suprised that I didnt need to provide anything. I had my documents on me but when I got to the counter they didnt ask. Since I was in the system with the same address & my picture was in the system they just asked me a few questions then printed me up a temporary ID. The new ID came in the mail a few weeks later.

I think having a valid ID has got me out of so many problems with the police. It is always the first thing that they ask you, ask for.

Any idea which states?

I had a real easy time getting a free one almost instantly in NC a few years ago OP. As others have said, check with local homeless assistance places, some are willing to provide fake proof of residence should you need it.

In San Francisco there's a lady who works for the DHS who can (and will) give you a voucher to get an ID without any papers. You just gotta have a good enough story for why you've never been on paper (born homeless/off the grid, moms was a junkie), or just give them your real info and they'll look you up. Fo free.

Or you can get yourself arrested on some little bullshit charge and give a fake name, then use your release papers to get an ID. I've heard NoLa is easy for this one.

Oh so somehow this has morphed into a fake identity thread where fingerprinting doesnt exist after arrest?

"GETTING ARRESTED COSTS TIME & MONEY!!" Most state issued IDs cost $25 & require basic free documents.

Pigpen I think your response to this thread is filled with misinformation.

uh, no?

I've met the lady in SF and my (at the time) underage homie who we'll call "C" got an ID in NoLa this way.
I told you a legal, free way to get one and a less than legal way to get one, what you do with this info is up to you.

Edit: yeah, I forgot, if your prints are in the system already don't try and give a fake name without altering your prints first.

UNSUBSTANTIATED HEARSAY

How can cost even be an issue? We have & can all spange up cash in less than an hour to pay for an ID that costs between $20-$25I have yet to spange up approved supporting documents to obtain an ID while flying a sign.

Perhaps for a preteen runaway there may be a chance but doubtful even so. I was fingerprinted at age 13 & they have been confirming my identity since.

All of this being said, bail, fines, probation, victim witness fees & time will be spent attempting to establish false identity. Most runaways on this site cant even figure out where to go, how to get there & what to bring with them.

 

[pigpen]

well, OP asked for easy, as far as ease of access goes, money is often an issue. I don't know if you've ever tried to get a copy of your birth certificate or SS card without anything to prove your name and SS, but that shit is fucking hard. The lady who's name I forget (but could probably be found through google) will give you a voucher, for free, to prove who you are, even if you have absolutely nothing to start with, that's as easy as it gets, assuming you're in or near SF.

I paid 45 for my cali non-driver ID in redding like 3 years ago, I didn't need an address, it just says General Delivery, Redding, California. I've seen prices vary from 20-60+ I don't know where you're getting this "average" national price of $25 though, while were yelling about unsubstantiated hearsay...

 

[pigpen]

and also I never implied you should "steal" someone's identity, but rather you make up a new one...I'm pretty sure there is/was other posts on here about the matter...

Here's a link: http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-public-faqs

It does not point directly to this thing you ask, but is very informative (and probably contains the information you are looking for). If you can't find your info there, let me know and I'll poke around some more.

 

[Deleted member 20]

I actually searched state by state on Google except Hawaii & Puerto Rico since people are too lazy to search themselves & pigpen was full of shit.

For divers licsense (just adding for info if it will help anyone) I know that an ID and a DL are different
Needed SS card, birth certificate and they used the number off my old license to look up in the system. If the number didn't show up. I would have to take both tests again::wtf::

I've heard some crazy shit about AZ that if you have a warrant in another state and you get a AZ ID/license and go back to where your warrant is it won't pop up in their system when the AZ card is ran. Wonder if it works with suspended licenses as well. Its all just hearsay but I was jus wonderin..
