Every young adult deserves a fair start.

We eliminate documentation barriers so young adults can access employment, housing, and long-term economic stability.

Building structured pathways to legal identification.

Founder & Executive Director
Tysha Minor
ID to Independence was established to eliminate documentation barriers that prevent young adults from accessing opportunity. Through structured, hands-on navigation, participants successfully secure legal identification and transition into employment, housing, and long-term stability.

“Real guidance. Real results. One ID at a time.”


“Why Legal Identification Matters”

Legal identification is the gateway to economic participation. Without it, young adults are systematically excluded from:– Lawful employment
– Stable housing agreements
– Higher education and workforce training
– Financial systems and banking access


How We Help

Our structured identification navigation model removes barriers and enables young adults to:

Birth Certificates & Vital Records

We guide young adults through the process of obtaining or replacing certified vital records required for legal identification and opportunity access.


State IDs & Identification Support

From application preparation to appointment coordination, we eliminate procedural barriers that prevent access to state-issued identification.


One-on-One Navigation

Each participant receives individualized, hands-on guidance to ensure successful completion of the identification process and transition into employment and stability.
