Nassau County parents can get a free photo identification card Saturday in central Hicksville that provides key information on a single, wallet-sized card.

Along with a picture, fingerprint and contact information, the identification card includes the date of birth, physical description and gender of the child.

Nassau County's "KidPix" program is a safety precaution, said Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano

"If ever a child is missing, parents can present the KidPix card to law enforcement officials as a helpful tool to help return the child quickly,” Mangano said.
