KALAMAZOO (AP) — Residents in a southern Michigan county who lack the necessary documents for obtaining a state ID will be able to access a new alternative identification card program.
The Kalamazoo Gazette reports that Kalamazoo County will begin accepting applications to the new program this week. The $10 county ID cards require looser criteria than state IDs.
Residents can prove their identity and residency status with documents such as a high school diploma, marriage license or Michigan Department of Corrections prisoner identification card.
The county IDs won't permit an individual to vote, obtain a driver's license or gain citizenship. But the program will ensure that residents without a state ID can still access some government and commercial services.
County Clerk Tim Snow anticipates issuing 1,500 ID cards this year.
