We are working on a LEED-CS project. Our client asked the architects to add a touch-screen kiosk in the building lobby to inform occupants and visitors about the project's green features. Can we apply for an ID credit for this addition and what is the process?

An educational kiosk like the one you describe would count as one component of a Green Education Program (as described within the IDc1-Section 8 Examples within the LEED BD+C v2009 Reference Guide). Just make sure you have at least two distinct educational components and that your overall program is comprehensive (i.e. covers achievements in all categories within your particular LEED rating system). That particular portion of the reference guide includes various other components that your team might consider as your second component.
In terms of submitting, you'd need to fill out the IDc1 Credit Form and provide documentation of both of your educational components. For a kiosk, one example of this could be including via a detailed narrative, information about the physical kiosk/placement, and some screenshots/slides of the actual kiosk program.
