I guess I do if Medicaid cards count, but I wouldn’t count them. Otherwise, no. I always meant to go get one whenever it came up, but it never did. My college ID even worked for a lot of things you’d think you needed an ID for. And no employer ever needed more than my social security number.
I’m a US citizen outside of the country for a while. I have my Washington DC driver’s license, passport and DC government work ID. I don’t count my SS card since it doesn’t validate my identity (there is no way to prove that I am the person named on the card).
Post-9/11, I believe that’s changed. I just started a new job last fall, and they had a government form they had to fill out with me, and providing some sort of government-issue picture ID seemed to be required (my driver’s license and at-that-time-expired passport were sufficient).
Yes, both for the US (passport) and for Canada (passport, driver’s licence): the poll didn’t take that possibility into account.
ETA: I also have a Canadian citizenship card. If you don’t require a photo, I have health cards for Canada and the UK, and Social Security for the US and SIN for Canada, and a birth certificate for the US.
DL, vehicle registration, tourist passport, two cancelled diplomatic passports, birth cert, retired military ID, voter registration card.
Mine, which was issued quite some time ago, says right on it that it’s not to be used as ID, so I don’t even carry it. I don’t think the new ones say that.
I have a driver’s license that I carry in the U.S. and a passport I carry outside the U.S. I have various other documents that may or may not count as government-issued ID, depending on context.
Driver’s license, passport, voter registration, hunting license.
This is the kind of circumstance in which I’ve used my Social Security card as ID, or at least had the option to do so. Sometimes, when multiple IDs are required, it will be specified that one must be a government issued photo ID, and the other may be anything from another photo ID to a Social Security card to a major credit card. It isn’t especially common, but I know it’s happened at least once or twice with regard to getting my security pass for my job with the Department of Commerce, so I count it.
I suppose by this standard, a birth certificate would probably also count as government issued ID, so my total’s up to five.
I don’t understand. Did the law change? My card looks kind of this one. It says NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION in capital letters right on the card. How could I use it for ID?

The post-1972 card looks like this and the only restrictions printed on it (on the back) are “Do not laminate this card” and “This card is property of the Social Security Administration…”
I have a driver’s license from the state of Arizona. I’m not going to count my Social Security card because on the back of mine it says, “Do not carry it with you.”
US passport, Canadian citizenship card, Quebec driver’s licence, Quebec health card, all with photo ID. In addition, US SS card (“not for identification”), Canadian SIN, two Penna birth certificates, one with my birth name and the other with the name that I have used all my life, all not with photos.
What’s a Penna birth certificate?
Hmmm … 33 posts in and nobody admits to having a Concealed Carry License?
I have 3 government-issued picture IDs:
- Passport
- Driver’s License
- Ask Opal
I’m thinking it may be a Pennsylvania birth certificate. I seem to recall “Penna” as being an old abbreviation for that state name. (As in “Reg. Penna. Dept. Agr.” from here.)
As for me, passport and driver’s licence.
A birth certificate from the state of Pennsylvania. “Penna.” is sometimes used as an abbreviation of the state’s name.
Thanks.
Drivers license, Medicare card, voter registration, card, for a long time I had a draft card,
Driver’s license and passport. Also social insurance card and birth certificate, if those count.
I also have an Ontario health card, but I’ve seen a number of places saying they will not accept that as a photo ID.
Two, driver’s license and work ID (I work for a state university).
