NYS Non-driver ID

My SSN card should be coming in the mail in a few days and I would like to obtain a NYS ID. I do not drive.
On the NYS website http://www.nyc.gov/html/id/html/how/state_id.shtml
you need a birth certificate, SSN, and other things...
But it says you must be a "documented resident..."?
Would I be eligible for this? I have a birth certificate from my home country.

Re: NYS Non-driver ID

your EAD, SSN card and a credit card is good. Instead of credit card, you can show your college ID + transcript or high school ID + transcript or insurance card

What is the enhanced DL thing about? Is it only for USCs?

Yes. Enhanced drivers licenses serve as a proof of US citizenship and can be used to re-enter US without a passport from Canada, Mexico, and some Caribbean nations.

Yep, it can be used instead of a passport to return to the U.S. from Canada, Mexico and some countries in the Caribbean

Bring some proof of address btw and show up early.
You wait 1-2weeks, but they give you a "temp id" which is just a receipt.

Notified acceptance 8/21 via email/no text

I have not received my SSN card in the mail yet but I have the letter from the SSN office saying that it should arrive in a week or so.
Would that letter be sufficient as SSN proof?
I would at least like to have a non-driver NYS ID receipt this week as I am attending an event that requires Govt ID
I feel unsure about bringing my EAD.
