Valid ID and Address Verification

To validate a new library card, we require:

  • proof of your identity
  • proof of your current address

This proof is also required to validate a change of address for an existing library card/account. 

Applicants under 18: see below for more information. 


Proof of Identity

Proof of identity should be a current photo ID, such as:

  • Valid driver's license
  • State ID
  • Passport
  • Student ID
  • Military ID
  • Other identification containing photo + first and last name

Proof of Address

Proof of address can include:

  • Valid driver's license (if the address is current)
  • Recent utility bill
  • Recent pay stub
  • Lease agreement
  • Voter registration card
  • Recently post marked mail addressed to the applicant

Applicants under 18

For standard library cards: applicants under 18, a parent or legal guardian's ID and proof of address is required. Both child and parent must appear in person.

For eCards: a parent's ID is only required for eCard applicants under 18 if the minor does not have their own valid photo ID with current address.
