The Senior ID Program is one of the most valued community initiatives of the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office, proudly serving thousands of older adults throughout the county. With the well-being of our senior citizens at the forefront, this program offers free photo identification cards that include essential personal, emergency contact, and medical information—helping first responders act quickly in the event of an emergency.
What's Included on the ID Card:
- Recent photograph of the cardholder
- Name, date of birth, and emergency contact information
- Relevant medical details that may be helpful in an emergency
How to Get a Senior ID:
- Group Requests: Senior groups and organizations in Passaic County can request an on-site ID event by submitting the appropriate request form or calling the Community Policing Division at 973-389-5920. Officers will coordinate a visit to your location to issue ID cards.
