A younger cousin of mine, who moved up here from the south, had a permit but it expired. So, he would have to take the permit test over again in order to get a brand new permit but due to lack of funds wants to opt for a state ID since it'll be cheaper, faster and easier. He needs ID certification ASAP since he won't be able to work without a valid ID that's recent. Since I have to run errands in the city tomorrow morning, I decided I'll tag along with him and help him find out some info (since he's a little dim witted honestly).

So, yes? No? Maybe? No?

Yes, he can get a state ID, but it is not a valid license for driving.

It's called a "non-driver" ID card:

NYS DMV - Driver License, Learner Permit and Non-Driver Photo ID Card

Yeah, that's essentially what he is trying to get. Just wanted to know if its possible to get state ID if you have a permit. Thanks.

Permit should have no bearing on the subject.
Yes he can get a state ID.
(I'm trying to decide which I want when my Jersey driving licence expires.)
