No credential without lawful status.","disclaimer":"General information, not legal advice. MigrantUSA is an independent publisher and is not a law firm. Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","faqs":[{"answer":"North Dakota requires every applicant to show proof of identity, date of birth, and legal presence in the United States, and it has no program for undocumented residents. You must provide a Social Security number if you have one; the only waiver is for a nonimmigrant who is not eligible for an SSN, or who signs an affidavit stating that no SSN was assigned. SSNs are verified with the Social Security Administration. If you have no lawful presence, North Dakota cannot issue you a license or ID.","question":"Can I get a North Dakota driver license without an SSN?"},{"answer":"Yes. North Dakota issues a non-driver photo ID under the same identity, legal-presence, and SSN rules as a license. For adults 18 and older the ID card has no fee; for applicants under 18 it is 8.00 dollars, and a replacement is 8.00 dollars. You must be a North Dakota resident (90 consecutive days) and show proof of a physical North Dakota address.","question":"Is a non-driver state ID available in North Dakota, and what does it cost?"},{"answer":"Apply in person with originals or certified copies (no photocopies): one identity and legal-presence document (for example an unexpired Permanent Resident Card, an unexpired Employment Authorization card, an unexpired foreign passport with an I-94 — plus I-20 or DS-2019 if applicable — or an I-94 stamped Refugee or Asylee), proof of your SSN if you have one, and two current documents showing your physical North Dakota address (no PO boxes). A consular ID or matricula consular is not on North Dakota’s accepted-document list.","question":"What documents do I need to apply in North Dakota?"},{"answer":"A non-commercial permit or license is 15.00 dollars, with a 5.00 written test and a 5.00 road test for new drivers; a duplicate is 8.00 dollars (3.00 for a name or address change only). A license is no longer valid after midnight of your birthday. You may renew up to 10 months before expiration without losing remaining time, and a knowledge and road test are required if it has been expired more than one year.","question":"How much is a North Dakota driver license and how long is it valid?"}],"generated":"2026-06-30","isBasedOn":"https://www.dot.nd.gov/driver/driver-education/driver-license-requirements","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"North Dakota driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.dot.nd.gov/driver/driver-education/driver-license-requirements","https://www.dot.nd.gov/driver/id-card-requirements","https://www.dot.nd.gov/driver/drivers-other-nations","https://www.dot.nd.gov/driver/online-services-drivers/driver-license-renewal","https://www.dot.nd.gov/sites/www/files/documents/proof-of-identification-documents.pdf"],"state":"North Dakota","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/north-dakota/"}
