How do I get a non-driver's ID card?
A citizen of Alabama may
apply for a non-driver Identification card at any location
where driver testing is done. The same degree of proof of
identification required of applicants for a driver's license
is required for non-driver ID cards. Identification cards
are issued to applicants who do not physically qualify for a
driver's license, do not have a current driver's license, or
who wish to discontinue driving and surrender their driver's
license.
The non-driver
identification card bears a number, as well as name, date of
birth, address, description of holder, and a color photo of
the holder. The fee for the non-expiring identification card
is $20.00.
