RESIDENT   IDENTIFICATION   CARD

CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA

• ​The SBID is $25 for community residents, with discounts for seniors 65+ ($20) and minors under 18 ($20).

SBID Days

• Third Saturday of Each Month 10AM-2PM at La Casa de Amistad

BENEFITS:
The SBID is designed to help keep our community safe. The SBID allows residents to identify themselves for instances when picking up children from school, borrowing from the library, obtaining financial statements, and ordering official transcripts from a local college or university. A primary benefit will be to interact with City of South Bend services such as the South Bend Police Department, South Bend Fire Department, and city buildings and services. It is up to companies, vendors, and offices outside of city departments if they will accept the card for official purposes.
