DC Non-Driver Identification Card Renewal

The DMV makes DC non-driver identification card renewal convenient by offering renewal services at DMV service locations and online by using the Online Identification Card Renewal. You may renew your DC Identification card up to 60 days before it expires. A DC identification card is valid for up to eight years for US citizens and may vary for non-US citizens (according to the US immigration expiration date).

You will receive a renewal notice 60 days in advance of the expiration of your identification card. You will receive your renewal notice by e-mail if you have provided DMV with your e-mail address. Click here to provide DMV with your e-mail address online. For last minute online renewals, DMV provides a temporary identification card certificate that can be used until your identification card is received in the mail.

Non-US Citizens must renew their Non-Driver Identification Card at our Georgetown service center located at 3222 M Street, NW, in the Georgetown Park Mall, Lower Level, Washington, DC 20007.

The Patriot Act, Public Law 108-458, National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004 does NOT allow for social security numbers to be displayed on driver licenses or identification cards. If your identification card number is also your social security number, you will be required to visit a DMV Service Center for renewal in order to obtain a new photo (DC law and policy requires a full frontal digital photo that shows either the hairline or the ears).

If you do not renew your DC non-driver identification card within 60 days of the expiration, you will no longer be able to renew it online and will have to come in to one of the DMV service locations and provide:

**If your DC identification card has been lost or stolen, you must provide Proof of Name and Date of Birth and Proof of Social Security Number.

NOTE: International transactions may only be handled at DMV service location.
