Identity For SNAP, verify the identity of the head of household/primary person in all cases. When an authorized representative makes the application, verify the identity of both the authorized representative and the head of household. Use readily available documents including, but not limited to: • Driver’s license • Work or school identification card • Identification for health benefits or another social service program • Voter registration card • Wage stubs • Birth certificate Picture ID is not required.
