What is IDNYC?

IDNYC is a free card for all New Yorkers, ages 10 and up, from all backgrounds including the most vulnerable communities: the homeless, youth, elderly, undocumented immigrants, the formerly incarcerated, and others who may have difficulty obtaining other government-issued identification.

It provides access to New York City services that come from having a recognized ID as well as complimentary benefits at various cultural institutions and vendors throughout the city.

The Shed is excited to offer free membership for one year to IDNYC cardholders.

For more information on IDNYC membership at The Shed, please see the section below.

If you have questions about eligibility for a free membership, please email IDNYC@theshed.org.

Do I need to have my physical IDNYC card before I apply?
