No-Fee ID Card Program Begins January 2014

Starting January 1, 2014, the Division of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing no fee ID Cards to be used for voting. Proof of age, identity, North Carolina residence, and verification of voter registration will be required.

Any resident of North Carolina can be issued a special identification card provided he or she does not have a valid driver license.
