High School students can find information on IDNYC applications at these links! Launched in 2015, IDNYC is a card for all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status. The free, municipal identification card provides access to a wide variety of services and programs offered by the City. For cardholders age 16 and older, cards are valid for five years from the date the application was approved. For cardholders under the age of 16, cards are valid for two years from the date the application was approved.
