The SF City ID Card is a municipal identification card program operated by San Francisco, California for residents of the city-county, regardless of their immigration status. The cards also do not specify the person's gender, to assist transgender individuals who often have difficulty with identification documents.
The stated purpose of the photo ID card is "to streamline access to City programs and connect residents to local businesses." The program is modeled after a similar program operating in New Haven, Connecticut since 2007.
