First-Time Identification Card (ID) Issuance
If you do not have a Louisiana Driver’s License on record, you’ll have to visit a Louisiana OMV office to obtain one.
- Applicants 16 and under required documents presented by the minor and the parent or guardian, and signature of parent or legal guardian.
- Applicants 15 years of age and younger have an option of a 2 year or 4 year issuance period under the Protect and Save our Children Program.

What is a No Insurance (NI) Flag? Why do I have one on my driver’s license?
A No Insurance (NI) Flag is placed on your license when the State of Louisiana is notified that your vehicle insurance has lapsed or been canceled. Insurance providers send these notifications electronically to the state. This happens often in error if you’ve recently switched insurance companies. We’ll research the cause, explain the issue, and guide you in collecting any required documents to help clear the flag and avoid unnecessary penalties.
I have a No Insurance (NI) flag on my driver’s license, but never had a lapse in coverage. What should I do?
We are here to help! Give us a call or stop by at one of our locations. We will research the issue to determine why the flag was placed on your record. If it's an error, we’ll guide you through the steps to remove it without paying unnecessary fines to the Office of Motor Vehicles. We’ll also help you gather any required documents to resolve it.
