Yes, but if you already have a driver’s licence, you cannot get a non-driver ID. I tried that before, they refuse to issue both, it’s an either/or, but you can’t have both.
South Mississippi here, dunno about other states though.
There are a handful of reasons it might happen, most aren’t a want though.
Cheaper to get an ID in most placed
If you can’t drive anyway might as well save the cash
Sometimes your doctor will request the DMV revoke your license permanently
If you’re a teen your parents may make you ~to save money on their insurance~ as a punishment. Fun fact: Your insurance will likely still charge you for them if you do that!
It’s pretty rare that someone surrenders their license willingly, though, because in a lot of places to get it back after surrender, you need to go through the whole process again.
If you got a CDL- commercial driver license, you will carefully cobble what you got around that. The CDL is expensive to get. You are going to familiarize with the local laws. New state? You are an expert.

Why would you want to surrender your license in exchange for a non-driver’s ID?
