The Maryland ID cards may be obtained from the DMV or any DMV satellite office that issues driver's licenses. In order to get the Maryland ID card, you'll need to bring your child's birth certificate and social security card, along with your driver's license. The cost of the ID card is $15.00 and is good for 5 years. ID Cards are mailed, so please do not wait until the last minute (2 weeks is the typical turnaround time). ID cards are not required at the time of registration, but will be required for every game.
