Can I get a state ID even if I cannot leave my bed, home or care facility?
You can still get a state ID by completing a Homebound Service Request.
Renewals may be completed online, but if you're getting a new state ID or renewing more than 1-year since your previous ID expired, please follow the directions below.
1. Fill out your request
First, you'll need to complete the
Homebound Service Request form and a letter from a physician certifying that you are homebound.
Once the form is complete, you can send the form:
-
Online to NCDMV. Please include medical documentation.

2. NCDMV visit
Once your request is received and processed, an NCDMV customer service representative will reach out to arrange a visit.
