Birth Certificate & ID Program
About the Program
We know that financial hardship creates obstacles on the path to building a stable life—but we also believe that everyone, regardless of financial status, should have easy access to their personal records.
With the Birth Certificate and ID Program, Second Chance Society assists clients with obtaining the vital documentation they need to secure a job or receive job training. Whether you need a birth certificate or a Florida state ID, Second Chance Society can help you take that next step toward a stable career and a more secure future.
Eligibility

- Born in the US or a US territory
- 18+ years of age. If you are under 18 and need assistance, click here.
- Homeless and/or low-income
