The city is opening five new IDNYC offices this month allowing New Yorkers to apply for a municipal identification card in-person, regardless of immigration status, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday.
As the mayor said during his July 13 briefing, “1.4 million New Yorkers have an IDNYC and for so many of them it has unlocked incredible opportunities they would not have had without having an ID card. … Simple, powerful things like being able to get a bank account, or sign a lease, or visit your child’s school.”
