New CityKey ID Program Information

via
On April 26, 2018, the Office of the City Clerk launched the Chicago CityKey Program, a government-issued ID available for all Chicago residents. Your business will surely begin, if it hasn’t already, to see customers use their CityKey to prove their identity, address, or age. To that end, City Clerk Anna Valencia has provided information on how the program works and what the CityKey looks like so that your business and its employees are familiar with the identification card.

Thus far, several thousand Chicago residents across the City have received CityKeys and the City anticipates that thousands more will become cardholders over the next several months. As the number of cardholders continues to rapidly grow, the CityKey will become increasingly prevalent—more and more Chicago residents will likely begin to use the CityKey as their primary form of identification when navigating their daily lives in Chicago.

Per the City Clerk of the City of Chicago, the CityKey is a secure and valid form of government-issued photo identification. If you have any questions regarding the Chicago CityKey Program or the information included below, please contact Luis Roman via email at Luis.Roman@cityofchicago.orgor by phone at 312-744-0263.
