How to Apply for an ID Card From the MVA
If you are a Maryland resident without a driver's license, an approved identification card from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration can be used to legally provide proof of age. If you are not a U.S. resident, in order to apply for an ID card from the MVA, you must provide proof to the department that you are legally residing in the country, such as a valid, unexpired passport and visa.
