Undocumented aliens can get an NYC ID and it qualifies as a government ID for interacting with police, entering city buildings, and potentially for DMV.
Clients may be interested in this since it gets them a US ID they can carry with them.
Application requires proof of residency in NYC and no filing fee. Those outside NYC are permitted to get an ID with a “care of” address in NYC if they move often or have no proof of residency.
I have had clients complain that cops harass them constantly for not having ID so we may want to start offering to do this for clients who can’t get EAD.
