Obtaining Your New Jersey ID Card

Any New Jersey resident who is at least 17 years old and does not hold a NJ drivers license is eligible to apply for an identification card. The card provides zero driving rights or privileges; it is strictly for identification only. Still, an ID card makes it easy to open a bank account, cash a check, or board a plane, which means it’s perfect for teens and adults alike.

You must visit any NJ MVC office to apply. Be sure to bring with you:

  • Enough identification to satisfy the state's 6 Point ID Verification requirement.  
  • A completed Non-Driver ID Application (Form BA-207). You can get this form at the MVC, or you can get ahead of the game and request this application by phone by calling (609) 292-6500 or (888) 486-3339. If you’re a teen, remember to find out if you need your parents’ signatures.
  • Cash or a check, money order, or credit card ( MasterCard, Visa, American Express) to pay the $24 state ID fee.

Handicapped ID Card


New Jersey also offers a handicapped ID card. This is for identification purposes only. It does not double as a handicap parking permit.

To apply, visit any MVC office with:

  • Enough ID to satisfy the state's 6 Point ID Verification requirement.  
  • A completed Non-Driver ID Application (Form BA-207). A licensed physician must complete the certification portion on the application. You can order this form by phone by calling (609) 292-6500 or (888) 486-3339.
  • Cash or a check, money order, or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express) to pay the $6 state ID card fee.
