Overview
The Community ID of the Palm Beaches is for ANY Palm Beach County resident 16 years or older who may have limited access to government issued forms of identification, and for those who support a diverse and inclusive community.
Community ID of the Palm Beaches is not a government issued form of ID or a driver’s license, but a verifiable form of identification that says you are part of our community. It can be used within your community to gain access to essential services and as a tool to better identify, serve and protect you.
To date, LAS has provided over 4,000 Community IDs to Palm Beach County residents.

Impact Of Community ID Program
Launched in 2019, Community ID of the Palm Beaches (CID) has provided families with access to essential services and/or programs, such as, but not limited to: health centers, medical providers, medication, vaccinations, immunizations, schools, libraries, diagnostic centers, food pantries, shelters, and urgent or emergency care facilities.
CID has enabled individuals to participate in the workforce, gain access to their community, and gain entry at numerous gated and/or private communities. As cardholders, seasonal residents and newly integrated individuals shared similar benefits.
Community IDs are vital during and after hurricane season as a tool to access shelters and for use during curfews and during a State of Emergency.
CID empowers individuals and families to gain independence and self-sufficiency, thereby allowing them to contribute to their community and the economy.
