If you have difficulties renewing your id card, consult your extension officer or a health care practitioner. Your new social security number is your new identity number and you will need to use it to generate your id card. The card issuer will usually send the applicant a card within 72 hours after the application is submitted. If the applicant is already a California resident, the card will also usually arrive in the mail. The form includes basic information about your qualifications for residency in New York, as well as your elector ID number. It is also a helpful tool when applying for jobs, visiting other states, or attending events in New York.
