IDs for an Inclusive Democracy Act
Introduced Feb 21, 2025 by Rep. Sean Casten
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill directs the Social Security Administration (SSA) to produce and make available at no cost to individuals over the age of 14 a means of identification (ID) sufficient to satisfy certain identification requirements (i.e., requirements otherwise satisfied by a driver's license or state ID).
The ID must include a photograph, specified information, and certain security features, and must generally be valid for 10 years.
SSA must develop and implement a campaign to educate the public about the ID, including how an individual can obtain and use one.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) must develop and implement a process that enables individuals to apply for and renew an ID through USPS, modeled after the process for passport applications.
