Specific fines or daily penalties for misuse of a municipal ID are not specified on the cited official municipal code page[1]. Enforcement responsibilities typically sit with municipal code or licensing units and may involve referrals to municipal court or law enforcement for fraud or false documentation.

If no program is published for Maryvale, contact the City of Phoenix to confirm whether a municipal ID is available.
  • Enforcer: usually City code or licensing office and local police for fraud or criminal misuse.
