County Clerk Fosters Awareness with Auto Bureau Outreach

Erie County, NY- Erie County Clerk Michael P. Kearns and the Erie County Office for People with Disabilities will be holding a special DisAbility Awareness Day on Saturday, April 23rd from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm at the Erie County Auto Bureau located in the Urbandale Plaza at 2122 George Urban Blvd. in Cheektowaga. No appointment is required for this community outreach event.

Individuals with disabilities and their families will be able to obtain state issued picture identification through the Erie County Auto Bureau and be assisted with other matters pertaining to the Department of Motor Vehicles. 

“People with disabilities continue to face ongoing barriers when it comes to employment,” said Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns. “My office will continue to focus on inclusion and equity when it comes to assisting individuals with a disability in obtaining government issued identification so when an employment opportunity presents itself they are prepared with the required ID to accept the job.”

The Erie County Office for People with Disabilities will also be on hand to share information and provide a thorough understanding of how the county can assist with identifying opportunities and services available to all residents who are disabled and their family members. If you need to coordinate a reasonable accommodation, please contact the Erie County Office for People with Disabilities at 716-858-6215.

Individuals interested in obtaining a Driver’s License, an Enhanced License, REAL ID or a non-Driver Identification are required to bring the following documents as proof of identification: original or certified copy of birth certificate, and original social security card.
