If this is the only ID you have, then it is better than nothing. You should invest in a (foreign) passport, however, and try to obtain a copy of your birth certificate.

How can an illegal alien get an ID?
Go to your country's embassy or consulate and get an ID. For Mexicans it's called "Matricula Consular."

I heard that the state of Washington is one of them, but you better make sure first.
Matricula consular is the same as passport?
