Coming soon to Baltimore: official government ID cards for people who live in the city. When New York City instituted municipal ID cards in 2014, the group said that the cards would “draw illegal aliens to New York City by making life more practicable” for them. Municipal ID cards are used in New York and Los Angeles. It’s believed that the first city to issue municipal ID cards was New Haven, Conn., followed by San Francisco. In Oakland, Calif., for example, the municipal ID cards can function as debit cards.
