North Dakota Mobile ID is a voluntary, secure, digitized version of your North Dakota-issued driver license or identification card (ID) available in Samsung Wallet. North Dakota Mobile ID offers even more security than the physical, state ID or driver license because North Dakota residents can choose what personal information to share with others.

North Dakota Mobile ID is currently the ONLY form of mobile phone-based identification that is recognized by North Dakota, and it is only available to individuals that have a current, valid North Dakota-issued driver license or ID card.

You must have an eligible North Dakota-issued driver license or identification card.​

• ​Have a Samsung Wallet / Mobile driver license eligible device.
• Samsung Wallet installed on a Samsung device running Android 12 or above.  
• An authentication method for your device (e.g. fingerprint or PIN).
• Have a Samsung account.
• Your device region set to United States.
