Accessing Identification
Helping people access community
Having an official form of identification is like having a membership card to your community. It’s a key requirement to housing, employment, banking, and healthcare.
The Access ID clinic is available to help low-income, disabled, older adults, veterans and homeless residents of Whatcom County gain official identification so that they may access housing, healthcare, and other benefits.
Walk-ins are accepted from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
At the clinic people can:
- Receive vouchers to cover the cost of an official Washington State ID, Enhanced ID, Driver’s License, or Enhanced Driver’s License*
- Learn which supplemental documents are required to apply for official identification
- Receive help (including financial support) in requesting supplemental documents from other institutions
In addition to being at or below 200% FPL, participants must be Whatcom County residents.
Currently, the clinic is held at the Whatcom Community Resource Center located at 1111 Cornwall Avenue.
Free interpretation services (including ASL) are provided.
