Need for the Document

Most adults use their driver's license as their main form of identification. It's used to see Rated R movies, buy tobacco or alcohol, enter nightclubs and bars, board a plane, check into a hotel, cash a check, and verify a credit card. But what if you're too young to drive, you've lost your driving privileges, or you've just never had a license

For those who don't carry an Arizona driver's license but still need to prove their age or identity, an identification card is needed.
