Collateral Consequences
The U.S. Department of Transportation has released the Leading Practices Toolkit Concerning Government-Issued Identification for Formerly Incarcerated Individuals, which includes information about how to apply for identification (ID), help another person apply, or learn how an agency can streamline the application process.
Whether being used by a state ID applicant or by an agency coordinating state ID issuance during reentry, this toolkit will provide key information to improve access to lawfully obtained ID documents upon release from incarceration.
The Leading Practices Toolkit is for:
- Currently or formerly incarcerated ID applicants
- Those supporting applicants, including reentry centers
- Correctional facilities working to implement or expand state ID programming
- State and Local governments supporting increased access to state IDs
- State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) and other critical agency partners that approve and deliver IDs
- Governments of federally recognized Tribes supporting increased access to Tribal-issued identifying documents.
