I think this might depend on state. I live in Virginia. We're only allowed to have one or the other here. From our DMV site:
**Adult ID cards are issued to an individual age 15 and above who does not hold a learner's permit or driver's license issued by any state within the United States.**
Also, just because someone wasn't sure what was on it, also from VA DMV, again, I'm sure state specific:
What Is Displayed On an Adult ID Card
The ID card displays the following information:
Customer number
Date of birth, height and sex
Expiration date and issue date
Full legal name, address and signature
Full-face photograph
Statement "Not a license to operate a motor vehicle"
Statement "Organ donor information"
Statement "Under 21 until date", if applicable
Statement "Under 18 until date", if applicable
And now, they want us to update/upgrade to Real ID in order to access any kind of secured facility, including flying. And, again, I'm sure this is potentially specific from state to state, I just had to replace my VA DL, but it wasn't expired. I just lost it. It cost me $20 and I had to walk into the DMV and say, I need a new one. I didn't even have to bring paperwork. Now, that being said..... I took several trips to the DMV because, well, I refuse to wait for two hours to do it, so, I spent a little time popping over there, seeing how the line was, and then going and doing whatever else I had to do. And for this one I had to go into the actual DMV. Usually you can do that online (and I tried, but there was a problem with mine, so I had to actually go into the DMV location. Bummer!)

I agree; I draw the line at providing a driver license. Too much personal info.
Most/all states have an ID card (which is different from a driver's license). I'm not sure what kind of info shows up on an ID card but if it doesn't list your DOB; that might be an option.
You can have one or the other, not both. An ID card is so one can properly identify themselves if they do not have a drivers license. It will have the DOB, picture and security measures equal to a drivers license.
Not true, one is certainly permitted to have both an ID card and drivers license, of course they have different uses. You need a DL to fly and an ID card will not work at the airport. I tend to carry my ID instead of my DL when I don't drive or fly bec. it is easier to replace the ID instead of the DL just in case.......
