Inmates receive a prison card issued by the Department of Corrections that contains a photo or digitized image of the applicant, as well as the applicant's date of birth and adult offender number, discharge certificate, or parole order. Under Montana law, these documents can be exchanged within 60 days of release for a free state-issued ID.
