Remember …

  • If your “Picture ID” has an old address on it, you must bring an extra “Other ID” that shows your correct address.
  • For a child under 18 to get treatment, we must have proof of ID for their parent or guardian (see above).
  • If you have not been to one of our locations for more than 3 months, you will need to bring proof of ID again.
