Which Vendors need IDs?
Any vendor providing a service for a fee within the community.
Who pays the fee?
The vendor pays the annual Digital ID fee of $50 per applicant. If a Physical ID is requested, there will be an additional fee. Replacement Physical IDs are $15.
Do you check immigration status?

How do I gain access to my digital ID?
Once approved, Digital ID is activated and a link is sent to the applicant's email and smart device.
Easy Online Application Process and How it works
To get started, a vendor must create a user account. Users will have the ability to submit applications online at their convenience 24/7. Applicants must submit a current headshot photo, a government-issued photo ID, and their Social Security Number for identity verification. Once approved, a Digital ID is activated and a link is sent to the applicant's email and mobile device. Digital ID's include a QR Code and Barcode for expedited vendor entry. The Safe Communities Vendor ID® can be used at all participating communities at no extra cost.
How to Manage the Dashboard
Users will have the ability to manage multiple applications and preview the application process as it's updated. User functions include submitting new applications, updating information, renewing, and replacing Physical IDs. Employers will have the ability to deactivate their employee's Digital ID when they no longer work for the company.
