Standard Oregon ID Card (non-drivers)

In Oregon, you will be eligible for a non-driver ID card as long as you are an Oregon resident and don't already have a valid ID card, driver's license, or instruction permit from any state. There is no age restriction for obtaining an ID card in Oregon.

Applications must be made in person at an OR DMV office. You will need:

• Proof of your identity, date of birth and legal U.S. presence, such as your:

  • U.S. citizenship certificate.

  • U.S. birth certificate.

  • Foreign passport and I-94 printout.

• Proof of your Oregon residency, such as your:

  • Utility bill.

  • Bank statement.

  • Insurance card.

• Proof of your name change (if applicable), such as your:

  • Marriage certificate.

  • Court order.

  • Divorce decree.

• A completed Application for Driving Privileges or ID Card (Form 735-173).

• Have your photo taken.

• To surrender any valid driver's license or permit issued by any other jurisdiction or by Oregon.

• To pay the $47 fee.

NOTE: You must supply your Social Security number (SSN) when applying for a non-driver ID card in Oregon. If you do not have one, you must provide proof of your ineligibility, such as a letter from the Social Security Administration.

Once you have your determined documents, you can book your appointment with the DMV for either a Drivers Test or ID appointment.
