OAKLAND City ID card 

Picture
The NAID Center has been researching and working with municipal governments about the possibilities of a City ID and benefits card. Many undocumented immigrants in Oakland, CA, and throughout the US, do not have any official identification. Many immigrants cannot operate a normal because they cannot interact with the police or fire fighters. Many are unbanked as well because banks typically require identification as well.

Under a new program expected to get launch this January 2013 in Oakland has changed the way cities view there embrace of undocumented immigrants. Oakland, CA has become one of very few cities in creating a City ID card.

Some of the features of this card include:

  1. Secure and protected Identification linked with the city
  2. Police module so that people could help report crimes
  3. Prepaid debit card functionality
