State Identification Card (ID)

Any person who is a resident of the state of Nebraska may obtain a State Identification (ID) card with a color photograph of the person included.

When applying for your initial State Identification card you must bring the following documentation to the DMV:

Proof of U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Status, containing Name and Date of Birth, and Identity.
Principal Address in Nebraska (at least two documents are required).
Applicants must disclose their valid social security number which can be verified through the Social Security Administration or show proof of exemption from the requirement by presenting a valid, unexpired Record of Arrival and Departure in a valid foreign passport (I-94 or I-94A).

See a full list of Document Verification Requirements acceptable items.
State ID Cards are free for all U.S citizens. If you want to acquire a State ID for voting purposes, new legislation allows applicants to request a no fee certified copy of a birth record if the applicant does not have a current Nebraska driver's license or state identification card for the purpose of voting. Additional information is available at the following link. https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/vital-records.aspx#birthcertificate

NOTE: No person shall be a holder of an operator's license and a state identification card at the same time, per state statute 60-484.
