West Orange Residents Can Apply For ‘Town ID Card’ (Here’s How)

WEST ORANGE, NJ — Need identification? People living in West Orange can apply for a municipal ID, the township recently reminded its residents.

To assist those who have difficulty obtaining effective identification by other means, the township has established a municipal ID program.”
