Description

Assists recipients of DSHS public assistance with obtaining a Washington State Identicard at a reduced cost from the Department of Licensing. DSHS public assistance clients will need to get a "Request for Identicard form" completed by DSHS to take to DOL. The client will then need to take the form to DOL, along with required evidence of identity as requested by DOL, and $5 to apply for the Identicard. The $5 is the cost to produce the card. Washington State Identification cards regularly cost $54 for a first-time or renewal, $20 for a replacement, or $10 for an address change.
