# Supported Legal IDs

> The Legal ID types accepted by IDMe verification, including U.S. and international driver's licenses, passports, national ID cards, permanent resident cards, and travel visas.

## Overview

IDMe Legal ID verification accepts government-issued IDs from the United States and from 230 other countries and territories. This applies to any IDMe flow that asks a user to present a Legal ID, including policies that use document-light verification.

Users are not limited to U.S. Legal IDs. Which types are accepted depends on the issuing country or territory, and no single type is accepted everywhere. Check [Country coverage](#country-coverage) before assuming a given Legal ID will be accepted.

## Supported Legal ID types

IDMe accepts the following Legal ID types:

* **Driver's license** - A U.S. driver's license from any state, or a driver's license issued by another country or territory.
* **Passport** - A U.S. or foreign passport, in either book or card form.
* **National or state ID card** - A U.S. state-issued ID card, or a national ID card, for example Germany's Personalausweis or Spain's DNI.
* **Permanent resident card** - Includes foreign residence permits.
* **Travel visa**

Each type is accepted only for the countries and territories listed in [Country coverage](#country-coverage). Acceptance varies by type, so a country that accepts one type does not necessarily accept the others.

## Country coverage

The following table lists the Legal ID types IDMe accepts for each issuing country or territory. A blank cell means that type is not accepted for that issuer.

> **Warning**
>
> This table covers passports, ID cards, driver's licenses, and resident permits. It does not show travel visa coverage.
