Why Get an ID Card
Though not mandatory, Montana identification cards are convenient to carry, especially when it comes to cashing checks, boarding at airports, entering bars, and applying for a driver's license. The cards, which are only open to Montana residents, are issued by the state's Motor Vehicle Division and can be obtained at your local driver exam station. They are valid for four years.
How To Apply
To apply for an identification card you must:
- Present proof of identity.
- Provide proof of Montana residency. Keep in mind that an address with a post office box number will not suffice as valid proof.
- Pay an $8 fee.
Renewing Your ID Card
In Montana, ID cards expire on the cardholder's birthday every four years. Renewal applications must be completed in person at your local Montana Driver Exam Station. The fee to renew a Montana ID card is $8.
Replacing Your ID Card
Head to your local driver exam station, and bring proof of identity.
There is a $10 fee for a duplicate card.
If you're within six months of the renewal date, just report the lost card and renew it through the process above.
