The Michigan State ID card is called the Personal Identification Card (PID) and is available for all Michigan residents who don’t have a driver license.
Today if you don’t have some form of photo ID, you may not be able to write personal checks to merchants or cash checks made out to you at banks. In fact, merchants will not allow you to make credit card purchases unless you have a photo ID. In the future, The REAL ID Act will require you to have a photo ID to be able to board an airplane.
The Michigan State PID card will cost $10 and there is no minimum age for the card. If you are over 65 years old, are legally blind, or have had your license revoked, suspended, or denied for a physical or mental disability, there is no charge.
To apply for a PID you must appear in person at a Secretary of State Branch office and request a Personal Identification Card. You will need proof of residency, proof of your identity and birth date.
The PID card is valid for four years, and is renewable. In Michigan you can renew your PID card through the mail or by visiting a Secretary of State Branch office. The Michigan PID card renewal fees are $10; there is no fee for people older than 65 or for those who are no longer eligible to drive because of physical or mental impairment.
