PennDOT Changes Age Requirement for Photo ID Cards
Harrisburg – Beginning December 1, 2009, PennDOT will make photo
identification (ID) cards available to Pennsylvania residents ages 10 and older.
The previous minimum age requirement to obtain a photo ID card was 16.
Act 159 of 2006 lowered the minimum age requirement for a Pennsylvania photo
ID card to age 10. The law took effect Nov. 29, 2009. All other requirements for
obtaining a Pennsylvania photo ID card remain the same.
To obtain a photo ID card, an individual must complete Form DL-54A,
“Application for Initial Photo Identification Card,” which is available on
PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services Web site,
www.dmv.state.pa.us, under the Driver License/Photo ID Information Center or
can be picked up at any of Senator Tomlinson's district offices.
An individual must bring the completed form, along with the required identity
documents and a fee of $12 to a PennDOT Driver License Center to obtain the
photo ID. Required identity documents are listed on Form DL-54A.
PennDOT reminds individuals under the age of 18 applying for a photo ID card
that a parent, guardian or person acting in loco parentis must accompany them to
a PennDOT Driver License Center.
To locate a PennDOT Driver License Center, visit the Locations Information
Center on the Driver and Vehicle Services Web site.
