The Princeton Community ID Card

Police, Fire and EMS personnel now have another verified photo identification card option for any resident of our community who does not drive and who might require emergency assistance and cannot speak for themselves, either due to injury or language barrier. All Princeton Residents are eligible for this card. This is a photo identification card that provides personal identifying information, medical risk factors, and emergency contact information for the cardholder; see below for sample images of both faces of the card.

This card is not issued by any city, state or federal agency, but this program is endorsed by law enforcement agencies, including: Princeton Borough Police, Princeton Township Police, Mercer County Sheriff’s Office and Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office. This is a privately distributed photo identification card for residents of Princeton Borough and Princeton Township with the sponsorship of various community organizations who form the One Community Coalition.

This Photo ID may be used at social service agencies, schools, clinics, parks, post offices, and libraries for purposes of access to basic municipal or health services and as a form of identification by check cashing companies, banks, retail stores or other establishments. A formal application is required for issuance. Examples of combined documents required to obtain the Princeton Community ID Card are: passport, birth certificate, consular card and lease, utility or phone bill. To address any potential privacy and confidentiality concerns, no personal cardholder data will be retained after issuance.

The card is issued by the Latin American Legal Defense & Education Fund, a nonprofit advocacy group, every Saturday, except holidays, between 10 and 12 PM at the basement of Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau Street in Princeton. An appointment is necessary. Call (609) 688-0881 to make an appointment or for more information.

There is a $10 cost ($5 for youth) per card to cover expenses. For additional info: www.LALDEF.org
