It is important to always have a valid ID during your stay here in Philadelphia. There are different forms of identification that are acceptable for eg: a passport, driver’s license and a Pennsylvania ID card. A passport holds a lot of essential information so its not recommended to be carried around as means of identification.  Another form of ID should be obtained. If a driver’s license is not desired then a Pennsylvania ID card should be sought. The process of such a request can be explained by visiting  http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/driverLicensePhotoIDCenter/obtainingPhotoID.shtml or by following the steps below:

• SEVIS registration
• Letters from Vanessa (SSN denial letter & DMV letter)
