Can a TOURIST in the US get a State ID???

Is that possible in the state of CA? Or is it only for RESIDENTS and CITIZENS?

Answer:
No. You must be a legal resident of California.

Here are the requirements and actions you must take at the DMV:

* Fill out an application form (DL 44).

* Have your thumbprint taken.

* Have your picture taken.

* Provide your Social Security number.

* Show proof of your birth date and legal presence. You may use your driver's license to do this if you have one.

* Pay the $21 application fee, unless you are 62 years of age or older (then it's free).
why?
Tourists cannot get a state ID because only residents are entitled to it.
Legally a State ID is for Citizens or Permanent Residents.

That however does not mean that a tourist can't get one illegally.
In order to get a state issued ID, you need to have a birth certificate or some other proof of citizenship and proof of residence in the state. Tourists have none of that, usually.
Yes, we want an address and time you will be home. I am not sure but an electric bill, water bill, and a picture ID is all you need. It is a good place to start. A drivers license is not far away. The taxes are easy to pay but hard to get back.
No you must a citizen to acquire any kind state id
residents & citizens only - otherwise all of our MILLIONS of illegal alien criminals would all have the CA issues state ID because they would call themselves "tourists."
God, I hope they can't!

They will run your social security number through the system to make sure the data matches up before they approve an ID in California, so I think you can't, barring someone 'on the take'.
