New Arizona ID 2026: ID Card, Travel ID and Documents

What does a new Arizona ID cost?

The Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) charges these fees, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients pay nothing for an ID card:

Card	Fee
ID card, ages 0 to 64	$12
ID card, 65 and older	No fee
ID card, SSI recipients	No fee
Travel ID, first card or renewal	$25
Replacement ID card or license	$12
Replacement Travel ID	$12

Travel ID or regular ID?

Effective May 7, 2025, TSA airport security accepts only a REAL ID credential, such as the Arizona Travel ID, a U.S. passport or other federally approved identification, for flights within the U.S. A Travel ID carries a star; a regular card says “Not for Federal Identification.” For travel outside the U.S., you need a valid passport or equivalent.

In most cases a Travel ID is valid for eight years. You get it at an MVD office or an Authorized Third Party provider, and MVD says to apply at least two weeks before a trip to allow for shipping.

Documents for a new Arizona ID

For a Travel ID, bring:

One proof of identity (the accepted documents follow)
Your complete Social Security number (no card needed)
Two documents from different sources with your name and Arizona home address, such as a utility bill, a bank or credit card statement, an insurance policy or a government document

If your legal name differs from the one on a document, bring legal proof of the change, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order. For a regular card, MVD’s New to Arizona page asks for proof that your presence in the U.S. is authorized, your Social Security number and, if you have one, the license or ID card from your previous state.

Accepted proof of identity

The manual accepts one of these:

A valid, unexpired U.S. passport or passport card
An original or certified birth certificate from a state vital records office (not a hospital certificate or a California Certified Abstract of Birth)
A Consular Report of Birth Abroad
A valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card
An unexpired employment authorization document
An unexpired foreign passport with a valid U.S. visa and the approved I-94 form
A Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship

Replacing a lost ID

Order a replacement ID card or license on AZ MVD Now. If you hold both a regular and a Travel credential, you buy a replacement of each. If yours was stolen and you think someone is using it, report it to your local police as identity theft.

A photo ID helps police share a child’s information and photo quickly in an AMBER Alert. As your child grows, update the photo at an MVD office; the card with the updated photo is a replacement card.
