Assists recipients of DSHS public assistance with obtaining a Washington State Identicard at a reduced cost from the Department of Licensing.

The client will then need to take the form to DOL, along with required evidence of identity as requested by DOL, and $5 to apply for the Identicard. The $5 is the cost to produce the card. Washington State Identification cards regularly cost $54 for a first-time or renewal, $20 for a replacement, or $10 for an address change.
