State ID Age Requirements
Most states don't impose a minimum age restriction (see grid) for residents (children or teens) seeking an identification card. Although, depending on the state, you may, depending on age, be required to provide parental approval when applying. In Utah, for example, an ID card applicant who’s younger than 16 must have a parent or guardian sign the application.For specific application requirements and fees in your state, contact your local DMV.
Possessing a state identification card is not mandatory. Whether you’re a teen or adult, it does, however, come in handy when photo ID is required. With an ID card you can board airplanes, register to vote, attend R-rated movies, and cash checks.
