I hope the information provided is helpful!

Thank you Bobbie7 - The Driver's License stats portion of your answer
was EXACTLY what I was hoping for!  (Yes I was looking for ID stats as
well - but this is great info for us).

The question also asks about "state issued ID card".  Many if not all
states now issue such, often as "non-driver's license" or "nondriver
identification" (spelling varies).

This site indicates the acceptance of such for drinking alcohol, but
does not say which states issue them.
state issued ID card.

If you search for "nondriver's license OR identification" you will
find many sites for states.  Because of the varying expressions for
such identification, it may be very difficult to find numbers.

I may have misunderstood the question, but the customer asks how many
people have a driver's license "OR" a state issued ID card. In any
case I did search for the ID card numbers without any luck.
