The cards will be issued first to 100 randomly selected people during a test run of the program.
The tribe has pushed for the creation of an ID card for the last decade. The cards are designed to boost convenience, security and privacy for tribal members.
Tribes increasingly are issuing cards to members to offer easier identification of American Indians and to streamline affairs with outside agencies.
After the initial test run, the Navajo Nation plans to issue ID cards from all five agencies on the 27,000-square-mile reservation.
