Mobile ID rollout and adoption in North Dakota

The North Dakota mobile ID is offered through multiple wallets:

  • North Dakota ID in Apple Wallet
  • North Dakota ID in Google Wallet

While the digital ID format only went live in late 2025, over 4000 people have already adopted the ID format. The North Dakota mobile ID is a voluntary purchase of $5 per person and will not take the place of physical driver’s licenses. The $5 fee will go toward security and maintenance of the system. In case of a discrepancy between a physical and electronic credential, the electronic credential takes priority and is considered to provide the current information.

Where can the North Dakota mobile ID be used?

The North Dakota mobile ID is accepted at participating TSAs around the country.

The North Dakota digital ID is also valid at all participating businesses, both in store and online.

Law enforcement also accepts the North Dakota mobile ID. It may be used when being stopped by a law enforcement officer for the purpose of enforcing or investigating the possible violation of an ordinance or state law

How can businesses read/verify North Dakota mobile IDs?
