New Requirements for North Dakota Real ID: Essential Information for Travelers
As of May 7, 2025, North Dakotans must present a Real ID-compliant card for domestic flights and entry into federal buildings. This mandate aligns with a nationwide effort to bolster security standards across all states. The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) oversees the issuance of these IDs.
To qualify for a Real ID, applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal residents with a valid North Dakota ID. Required documents include proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), Social Security Number verification, and two forms of residency proof—originals only, as photocopies won’t be accepted. If your name differs from what’s on your identification, you’ll need to provide legal documentation of the change.
The application process involves scheduling an appointment at an NDDOT location and ensuring all documents are in order. Fees are relatively low, ranging from $8 to $15, depending on the renewal cycle.
Failure to present a Real ID or acceptable alternative like a U.S. passport may prevent access to flights or federal facilities. Start your application promptly to avoid last-minute hassles. For further information, visit the NDDOT’s official Real ID webpage.
