You can apply for a card online and if the form can verify your name at your address, you will be issued a card number electronically (displayed right on the screen) that you can begin to use immediately. If the online form doesn't work, you can apply for a card at any Metro Library location. To apply in person, please bring proof of ID, including proof of current address (e.g. a current driver's license would satisfy both requirements). Parents or guardians must provide address verification for minors (16 and under).
Examples of acceptable identification:
- Any photo ID issued by the U.S. Federal, Tribal, or any State Government (examples include a driver’s license, Tribal ID, current passport, green card, state employee ID card)
- Birth Certificate
- Current vehicle insurance verification form
- Student ID card with a photo of the student on it
- Acceptable evidence of current school, college, or university enrollment or employment (examples include an official transcript or registrar’s receipt for students; examples for staff include a pay stub or staff ID card)

- Current credit card
