The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) will visit Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Mandan, Hidatsa & Arikara Nation tribal reservations next week to provide Non-Driver Photo Identification (ID) Cards that can be used for voting purposes. This is the second time this year that NDDOT is visiting tribal areas to provide ID Cards, with the first round of events held last spring.

The photo ID cards will be issued for North Dakota residents who do not have a driver license or a tribal identification card. The Non-Driver Photo ID Card provided at these locations will be free to the public if they are 18 and older. NDDOT staff will obtain photos and documents at tribal locations. The paperwork will be processed overnight, and the Photo ID card will be mailed to residents within 5 days.
