News from Young Adults – Next Chapter
If you want to be ready for what’s next in your life; school or work, you need some documentation to be at your fingertips. Part of being independent is knowing where your documents are and how to keep them safe.
- State ID card, needed for work or school
- Birth Certificate
- Drivers License
- Social Security card
- A local bill for proof of residency
Getting these documents in order is a big step toward your independence and the opportunity to work. These documents prove who you are, and employers need them to legally hire you.
When you apply for a job, you’ll be asked to show identification and proof you are eligible to work in the U.S. Without these papers, even if you have the skills and motivation, you can’t be added to the payroll and receive a pay check.
You will also need these documents to apply for housing, open a bank account, get a drivers license, or even travel.
DAC NW can help you get these documents and store them in a safe place where they are easy to retrieve.
