HOMELESS TO GET FREE ID

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services have announced that Pennsylvanians experiencing homelessness are now able to obtain a free initial photo ID or renewal a photo ID as a result of a new law that Governor Tom Wolf signed into law. To obtain an ID at no cost, individuals experiencing homelessness must apply in person at a PennDOT Driver License Center and must meet identification and other requirements. The applicant must inform the Driver License Center counter staff they are applying for or renewing their existing Pennsylvania photo ID and are requesting a free ID due to their homeless status. The individual will be required to certify on the application that they are homeless as defined in the law. Additional information can be found online at www.dmv.pa.gov.
