I am unable to renew my r.i drivers licence do to back taxes and I able to obtain a state i.d for up to date identification

You should be able to. Backed taxes are from vehicle taxes I assume, which aren't related to a basic identification card.

Yes but only at the Cranston office.

Definitely go down, pretty sure u can at least get id

I believe if you owe money to the state of Rhode Island they won't give you an ID but call first

You would have to call them and ask.
