department shall issue a distinguishing identification card which shall set
forth the information contained in the application, in a form as prescribed by
the department. All identification cards issued on or after January 1, 1993,
shall not contain the applicant's social security number. An applicant's
social security number shall be exempt from disclosure except for inquiries
from agencies or institutions authorized to obtain such information by federal
law or regulation, from peace officers or from jury commissioners. Each card
shall have printed on it the applicant's full name, date of birth, Idaho
residence address, sex, weight, height, eye color, hair color, and shall be
issued a distinguishing number assigned to the applicant. Each card shall also
have printed on it the name of this state, the date of issuance, and the date
of expiration. An identification card shall not be valid until it has been
signed on the signature line by the applicant. Each card shall bear upon it a
color photograph of the applicant which shall be taken by the examiner at the
time of application. The photograph shall be taken without headgear or other
clothing or device that disguises or otherwise conceals the face or head of
the applicant. A waiver may be granted by the department allowing the
applicant to wear headgear or other head covering for medical, religious or
safety purposes so long as the face is not disguised or otherwise concealed.
At the request of the applicant, an identification card may contain a
statement or indication of the medical condition of the applicant.
No person shall receive an identification card unless and until he
surrenders to the department all identification cards in his possession issued
to him by Idaho or any other jurisdiction, or any driver's license issued by
any other jurisdiction within the United States, or until he executes an
affidavit that he does not possess an identification card or any driver's
license.
Identification cards issued to persons under eighteen (18) years of age
shall include a notation "under 18 until (month, day, year)," and
identification cards issued to persons eighteen (18) years of age to
twenty-one (21) years of age shall include a notation "under 21 until (month,
day, year)." The nonrefundable fee for a four-year identification card issued

fifty cents ($7.50) of which five dollars ($5.00) shall be retained by the
county and credited to the current expense fund, and two dollars and fifty
cents ($2.50) shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the

fund, and five dollars ($5.00) shall be deposited in the state treasury to the
credit of the highway distribution account. At the option of the applicant,
the identification card issued to a person twenty-one (21) years of age or
older shall expire either on the cardholder's birthday in the fourth year or
the eighth year following issuance of the card. Every identification card
issued to a person under eighteen (18) years of age shall expire five (5) days
after the person's eighteenth birthday. Every identification card issued to a
person eighteen (18) years of age but under twenty-one (21) years of age shall

Individuals required to register in compliance with section 3 of the
federal military selective service act, 50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq., as
amended, shall be provided an opportunity to fulfill such registration
requirements in conjunction with an application for an identification card.
Any registration information so supplied shall be transmitted by the
department to the selective service system.
(2) Every identification card, except those issued to persons under
twenty-one (21) years of age, shall be renewable on or before its expiration,
but not more than twelve (12) months before, and upon application and payment
of the required fee.
(3) When an identification card has been expired for less than twelve
(12) months, the renewal of the identification card shall start from the
original date of expiration regardless of the year in which the application
for renewal is made. If the identification card is expired for more than
twelve (12) months, the application shall expire, at the option of the
applicant, on the applicant's birthday in the fourth year or the eighth year
following reissuance of the identification card.
(4) A person possessing an identification card who desires to donate any
or all organs or tissue in the event of death, and who has completed a
document of gift pursuant to the provisions for donation of anatomical gifts
as set forth in chapter 34, title 39, Idaho Code, may, at the option of the
donor, indicate this desire on the identification card by the imprinting of
the word "donor" on the identification card.
(5) A person possessing an identification card or an applicant for an
identification card who is a person with a permanent disability may request
that the notation "permanently disabled" be imprinted on the identification
card, provided the person presents written certification from a licensed
physician verifying that the person's stated impairment qualifies as a
permanent disability according to the provisions of section 49-117, Idaho
Code.
(6) In the case of a name change, the applicant shall provide legal
documentation to verify the change in accordance with department rules.

notify the transportation department in writing of the old and new addresses.
(8) The department shall cancel any identification card upon determining
that the person was not entitled to the issuance of the identification card,
or that the person failed to give the required and correct information in his
application or committed fraud in making the application. Upon cancellation,
the person shall surrender the canceled identification card to the department.
(9) If any person shall fail to return to the department the
identification card as required, the department may direct any peace officer
to secure its possession and return the identification card to the department.
(10) The department may issue a no-fee identification card to an
individual whose driver's license has been canceled and voluntarily

card may be renewed at no cost to the applicant as long as the driver's
license remains canceled.
(11) It is an infraction for any person to fail to notify the department
of a change of address as required by the provisions of subsection (7) of this
section.
