What Counts as Proper Identification?

Acceptable forms of identification can vary slightly by state, but generally include:

• A current state-issued driver’s license or ID card

• A U.S. passport or passport card

• A military ID

• A government-issued foreign passport (depending on state rules)

The ID must be current or issued within a specific number of years (often 5 years) and must contain a photograph, signature, and physical description or other identifying features.
