Municipal identification cards will now be available to anyone who can prove their identity and residency in New York City.  Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law a plan that offers municipal identification cards to residents regardless of their immigration status.

This identification card is aimed towards groups of people who are currently unavailable to show a form of government identification to cash a check or sign a lease.  According de Blasio, "There are so many reasons why we want people to have ID, but we have a difference in this city to begin with.  We don't have the same usage of driver's licenses that other parts of the country have."

The card will initially be free, but officials say they may charge a small fee for the license after the first year.  Documents that are acceptable option the municipal identification include a birth certicate and proof of residence, such as a utility bill or bank statement.
