North Dakota

ID Needed for Voting

North Dakota does not have voter registration, but you must show a valid ID in order to vote. Your ID must include your name, current North Dakota residential address, and date of birth. Acceptable forms of ID are:

• ND driver's license
• ND non-driver's ID card
• Tribal government-issued ID card
• Long-term care ID certificate

To vote absentee, acceptable forms of ID are:

• Any form of ID listed above
• Passport or Military ID - Only for ND residents living outside the US who do not possess one of the other forms of ID
• Attester - an applicant without an acceptable form of ID may use an attester. The attester must provide his or her name, ND driver's license, non-driver's ID card, or tribal ID number and sign the absentee/mail ballot application form to attest to the applicant's ND residency and voting eligibility.

If you don't have an acceptable form of ID, find out how to get a North Dakota ID card from your local driver’s license office.
