Can a tourist apply for california id?

what are the requirements?i have a friend who was here for less than a month and asking if it's possible for a tourist to apply for temporary identification instead of carrying his passport all the time...pls advice.

Answer:
No, he's just a visitor.
send me his SSN and birth date and all other personal information. I will make him a CA ID I promise
Try the DMV, you might be able to get a temporary one... It seems a little doubtful, though.

If you just need any old picture ID, get a library card!
I think there is a residency requirement for a length of time in which you have to be living in state. You need your birth certificate to get the ID. Call DMV and ask, they can give you the correct information.
No, he can't.
No you can't...unless he decides to live here...
Your friend should have his own ID card from his own country right? That should be fine to carry around instead of his passport.

** Unless your friend has a social security number you friend can NOT get a California I.D. card. check the link below
California has a residency requirement of 90 days before you can apply for a State issued ID.

A tourist doesn't need a State issued ID. The ID or drivers license issued from their country of origin is acceptable as identification.
