Keep Your ID Up to Date, Even If Housebound

The Homebound State ID program is a service program for older adults, bedridden individuals, and people with disabilities who are unable to leave their homes to obtain a state ID card from a Secretary of State facility. The card may be used for identification purposes in the same way as a standard driver’s license is used for identification.

Certain documents are required to obtain the card. Once an applicant submits the information via this web form, the Office of the Secretary of State will determine eligibility and the documents required to complete the transaction. For assistance to help determine if you or your loved one qualifies for this service, call 312-814-3121.
