CITY OF NEWBURGH - It only took a little over two months for the City of Newburgh to reach a major milestone with its two-month-old municipal identification card program.

The 1000th Newburgh ID was issued during the late afternoon on Wednesday, said City Manager Joe Donat.

Newburgh created and launched its municipal ID program in about 90 days.

The clerk officially began issuing the exclusive City of Newburgh residential cards on July 9.

Applications for municipal IDs are available at cityofnewburgh-ny.gov in Spanish and English. Waivers for ID fees can also be found there.

City ID cards are issued from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the City Clerk's office on the first floor of City Hall, located at 83 Broadway.
