Who Needs ID?

Any resident who does not have a valid driver license can get a photo ID, regardless of age. It looks just like a driver license, except you do not get driving privileges. People use them to write checks, travel on trains or airplanes, get library cards, and to prove their age in order to purchase alcohol or cigarettes.

Getting an ID Card

To get a NC non-driver ID, you can go to any driver license office and apply. You will need the same proof of age and identity as if you were applying for a first-time driver license. The current fee for an ID card is just $10.

Renewing Your ID Card

As with driver licenses, a five-year renewal system is being phased in. Eventually all non-driver ID cards will be valid for five years and will expire on your birthday.

Replacing an ID Card

Visit any driver license office with proof of age and identity and either cash or check to pay a $10 replacement fee.
