Can I get a state ID without a parent?

Unaccompanied youth up to age 21 who get services through homeless support programs can get a free state ID with no parent signature. You need a notarized eligibility letter from a shelter, program or school liaison, proof of identity, and one proof of Oklahoma residency. Your letter can count as the residency proof.

All done. You are ready, friend.

Bunkly tip: when you call a youth program, ask what papers you need first. A birth certificate and a notarized letter are often the slow part.
