This page tracks current digital ID and mobile driver’s license availability in North Dakota. Current program status: Available / Live. The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) introduced North Dakota Mobile ID on September 30, 2025, allowing eligible residents to add their state-issued driver’s license or identification card to a supported digital wallet. NDDOT provides enrollment instructions for Apple Wallet, Google Wallet and Samsung Wallet. However, Samsung’s national participating-state list does not currently include North Dakota, so residents should confirm enrollment availability on their eligible Galaxy device.12
North Dakota Mobile ID costs $5 per physical license or ID renewal cycle. This is a state enrollment fee payable to NDDOT, not a charge collected by Google, Apple or Samsung. Residents who have not prepaid are directed to the official state payment website after their enrollment request is approved. The fee is charged once per renewal cycle rather than separately for each digital wallet, and NDDOT does not refund it after successful issuance. Residents can cancel an enrollment request before payment without being charged.345
To enroll through Google Wallet, residents need a valid North Dakota driver’s license or state ID, a compatible Android phone, an active screen lock and their physical card for verification. Apple Wallet enrollment is available on eligible iPhones and Apple Watches, while Samsung Wallet requires a supported Galaxy device. Mobile credentials can be presented at participating TSA security checkpoints and businesses equipped with compatible digital ID readers. Acceptance depends on the wallet, credential and verification equipment.67
North Dakota Mobile ID does not replace the physical driver’s license or identification card. NDDOT states that law enforcement does not currently accept North Dakota Mobile ID, making the physical license necessary during traffic stops and other law enforcement interactions. Residents should continue carrying their physical identification for locations without compatible readers and when traveling through airports where digital verification may be unavailable.8

North Dakota digital ID wallet support
Digital ID ecosystems are issued and updated by state authorities and wallet providers. A “No” above means the bundled dataset does not currently list that wallet as supported for this jurisdiction; it does not mean support can never be added.
Where can you use it?
Acceptance varies by verifier and location. Mobile IDs may work at supported TSA checkpoints and at participating businesses or government services, but a digital credential should not be assumed to replace the physical card everywhere.
Do you still need the physical ID?
Yes. Current wallet-provider and issuing-authority guidance generally treats mobile ID as a companion to the physical credential, so carrying the physical card remains recommended.
