Minor Original Limited-Term Identification Card (ID)

1 – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • You qualify for a limited-term ID card if you are not a U.S. citizen but are in the country and have an approved lawful presence status.
  • DPC (driving privilege card) applicants are not eligible for an ID card.
  • An ID card is not a license to drive, it is for identification purposes only.
  • If you are under the age of 16 you must have a parent or legal guardian sign for you.

2 – WHAT IS THE PROCESS

  • Fill out an online application and schedule an appointment to visit a driver license office.
  • When you arrive for your scheduled appointment, have your confirmation number ready to check in, and then you will take a photo.
  • After your photo, you will have a seat; when your number is called, you will present your documents to the examiner, and pay the non-refundable fee of $23.00.

3 – WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • Bring proof of identity (name and date of birth.)
    • A S.A.V.E. verification will be run to verify your document status (this process may take up to 14 days.)  To understand S.A.V.E verifications, click here.

5 – WHEN DO I GET MY ID CARD

  • A temporary limited-term identification card with a photo will be issued on the same day.  
  • The completed identification card will have an expiration date of your legal presence document or five (5) years, whichever is sooner; or 1-year from the date of issuance if there is no expiration date, and will then be mailed to you in approximately 4-6 weeks.

Note: By law, you may not possess more than one REAL ID compliant certificate at a time (e.g., a Utah driver license and a Colorado ID.)
