# How do I get a library card?

To obtain a library card, follow these steps:

1. 1. **Apply in person** at any library location or [***complete the application***](https://catalog.mohavecountylibrary.us/MyAccount/SelfReg) on the library’s website.

1. 1. **Present a valid government-issued photo identification**. Additional documentation may be required to verify your current local mailing address. Examples include:
      - - A current utility bill

      - - Recent postmarked mail with your name and address

      - - An imprinted personalized bank check

      - - A recent rent receipt or other local business receipt showing your name and mailing address

A post office box is acceptable for a mailing address as long as you also provide your local physical address.

For children under 18 years of age (unless holding emancipated minor status):

- - A parent/guardian must obtain the library card.

- - If the adult has a library card, it must be in good standing.

- - The adult must meet the requirements listed above and be present to sign the child’s library card.

The parent/guardian accepts financial responsibility for the materials borrowed by the child and acknowledges that it is their responsibility to guide the selection of materials.
