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 or Enhanced ID Card*
- Learn which supplemental documents are required to apply for official identification
- Receive help (including financial support) in requesting supplemental documents from other institutions
Currently, the clinic is held at the Whatcom Community Resource Center located at 1111 Cornwall Avenue.
Free interpretation services (including ASL) are provided.
