Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call the hotline at 1-844-KEEPID to confirm the next clinic date, and bring a mailing address..
What to expect
At a clinic, staff help you request a birth certificate, photo ID, or Social Security card, and you bring a mailing address. The site does not say how long a visit takes or whether you need an appointment. It asks for donations and does not state a fee.
Tips for your first visit
- Call 1-844-KEEPID before you go to confirm the clinic date and what papers to bring.
- Bring a mailing address, since the site lists one as a clinic requirement.
- If you have no ID or no address, ask the hotline first, since the site says help is still available for people with missing IDs or no address.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The clinics are open to the public, and the site gives a phone line and a clinic calendar. It does not say whether you can walk in or need an appointment..
