No Testing Requirements for State Identification

No. That’s one of the nice things about a state ID card. There’s no preparation, no multiple-choice questions, and no stress involved. You simply show up at your state’s DMV office that handles identification card transactions, present the required documentation, fill out an application, pay any applicable fees, smile for the camera, and get your card.

You’ll need to check with your DMV to see what sort of documents you’ll need to show. Some states require multiple documents – as many as when applying for a drivers license. Other states, however, ask for minimal identification.

Also, while an ID card generally doesn’t cost much, some states charge $20 or more.

Be sure to ask if you’re old enough for an identification card. Many states allow those under the age of 10 to apply for a card, but some insist you be older to receive an ID card.

ID cards provide a great way for those without a drivers license to have a widely acceptable means of photo identification.
