Become a Detroit ID Community Partner

Mayor Duggan is launching the Detroit ID program that will help Detroit residents to demonstrate that they live in Detroit. The Detroit ID will be a City issued identification card available for all ages who are eligible to apply. The Detroit ID will help Detroit residents who face difficulty in obtaining a traditional ID and provide access to resources and services.

Businesses are invited to introduce Detroit residents to their products and services by accepting the Detroit ID as identification, and offering a discount and/or benefit to people who purchase certain products and services.

Here are examples of ways to engage Detroit ID holders as a Detroit ID Partner:

• a discount on the first time or ongoing purchase of a product or service
• a benefit with a purchase (i.e. buy one get one free with ID)
• exclusive access to activities, events, and shows just for Detroit ID holders

Here are the benefits of being a Detroit ID Partner

• Highlights during the Detroit ID launch event and other Detroit ID events
