You can apply for a Community ID by visiting the Johnson County Auditor’s Office, located at 913 S. Dubuque St., between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, except government holidays.
An adult card (ages 16-years-old and over) is good for four years and costs $8.
A children's card (under 16-years-old) is good for two years and costs $4.
New Community ID cards must be mailed. We encourage you to apply for your Community ID before 2:00 pm so we can mail your card the same day. - Discounts at businesses

- Community ID Clinics
-
Community ID Clinics can be hosted offsite if requested. A staff member can come to a location in Johnson County and assist members of the community with the application and take their photo for the identification. The IDs are printed out at the Auditor’s Office the following working day and mailed to those who participated. We ask that an offsite clinic produces a minimum of ten IDs. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
The cards now have the ability to have contact and/or allergy information added, for when those details are important to communicate (i.e. for a person at risk of being lost, like a child, or who has a medical condition, such as an allergy).
