Getting an Alaska ID card

Anyone living in Alaska can get a state ID card, children included, and no parental consent is needed. An Alaska ID card costs $15, or $35 as a REAL ID, and a standard card is free if you’re 60 or older. You apply at a DMV office with Form D1 and the same documents as for a permit.

How long it lasts, and renewing

A card lasts up to 8 years. It expires on your birthday, or 90 days after your 21st birthday if that comes first.

You can renew up to a year before it expires. If you last renewed in person, you can renew online from a year before to a year after the expiry date. If you last renewed online, go to a DMV office. If it expired more than a year ago, you send a Form D1 online through myAlaska. A lost card can be replaced online.

What do you need for an Alaska ID card?

Form D1 and one document from each group: identity and lawful presence, your Alaska street address, your Social Security number, and name change papers if needed. A REAL ID card needs two proofs of address and an in-person visit. You can also ask for a veteran, organ donor or invisible disability designator on Form D1; the invisible disability one needs a doctor’s Form 486.
