Obtain a DC Non-Driver Identification Card

DMV issues DC Non-Driver identification cards to District residents who are at least 15 years of age and do not hold a valid driver's license in DC or another state or country. 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). Certain DC residents are eligible for a free non-driver identification card.

Non-US Citizens must obtain 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.
